Do you mind telling me what you got for the bottom and top parts of the figure?

4. anonymous

5. anonymous

Yes, I know that. Then what did you get for each separate thing?

6. anonymous

Er. Nothing. I just added it all >_<

7. anonymous

Well you solved the area of a section and then wrote it down and then added it all up together right?

8. anonymous

I did 4+4, then the sum of that +2 then the sum of that + 8 (which is the other 4+4) and the sum of that with 5.75

9. anonymous

Can you find the area of this? |dw:1438203186061:dw|

10. anonymous

4

11. anonymous

Wrong

12. anonymous

Not the best at this subject. Lol. :/

13. anonymous

Area of a triangle is $\large \sf A~=~ \frac{1}{2} \times Height \times Base$|dw:1438203298442:dw|

14. anonymous

How would you times 1/2 though?

15. anonymous

$\large \sf x \times \frac{1}{2} ~=~ \frac{1x}{2}$

16. anonymous

What? >_<

17. anonymous

$\large \sf 4 \times \frac{1}{2}~=~\frac{1 \times 4}{2}$

18. anonymous

Oh. So it would be 4/2, but thats a improper fraction.

19. anonymous

$\large \sf \frac{4}{2}~=~2$

20. anonymous

So the answer would be 2?

21. anonymous

The area of the triangle with sides of 2 and 2 is 2, yes.

22. anonymous

So confusing. >_<

23. anonymous

|dw:1438203674426:dw|

24. anonymous

Can you solve for the top section? |dw:1438203756317:dw|

25. anonymous

I got 12, But I have a feeling that is wrong. do I have to do the fraction thing again too? So would it be 1 x 12/2? or something like that.

26. anonymous

12 is correct :)

27. anonymous

Oh. Lol.

28. anonymous

So confusing.

29. anonymous

Now onto the bottom part of the figure. |dw:1438203869690:dw|

30. anonymous

For now, let's flip it around. |dw:1438203894596:dw|

31. anonymous

Now |dw:1438203930484:dw| $\large \sf A~=~\frac{1}{2} \times height \times base$

32. anonymous

So I got it set up but I don't know how to get the answer. I have 1 x 13.75/2

33. anonymous

Well that's not right

34. anonymous

Lol, I know. :/

35. anonymous

36. anonymous

$\large \sf \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 5.75 \rightarrow \frac{8}{2} \times 5.75$

37. anonymous

Ohhhh

38. anonymous

23?

39. anonymous

Correct :)

40. anonymous

:D

41. anonymous

Now add the top part and bottom part together to get the total area :)

42. anonymous

45?

43. anonymous

12+23=?

44. anonymous

45. anonymous

Correct. So the final answer is 35 :)

46. anonymous

Lol, damn this stuff is a lot of work. >_<

47. anonymous

So the answer to my question is 35?

48. anonymous

Yes

49. anonymous

Thank you for the help. Lol this helps me a WHOLE lot.
