i drew a picture

3. anonymous

I don't get the 6/2 thing

4. anonymous

is that a parallelogram?

5. anonymous

yeah

The area of a parallelogram is A = bh. If you draw the altitude of the parallelogram, you get a 45-45-90 triangle. $$6 \sqrt{2}$$ is the hypotenuse of the triangle. divide by √ to find the height |dw:1437783942892:dw|

Find the area of the following figure. 64 in2 65√3 in2 128 in2 |dw:1437784094676:dw|

8. anonymous

so divide 6$6\sqrt{2}$

9. anonymous

by 45

10. anonymous

im not good at this stuff

11. anonymous

divide 6√2 by √2$\frac{ 6\sqrt{2} }{ \sqrt{2}}$

12. anonymous

ugh i don't know

13. anonymous

what cancels?

14. anonymous

the square roots

15. anonymous

so what are you left with?

16. anonymous

6

17. anonymous

right. 6 is the height. You've given the base as 10, so the area is 6*10

18. anonymous

60 sq units?

19. anonymous

yes

20. anonymous

yes! thanks

21. anonymous

you're welcome
