Split the shape into smaller shapes, (see attachment)
find the area of the split shapes. So first find the area of the triangles
A = 1/2bh
A = 1/2*2*3
A = 1/2*6
A = 3
so that is the area of one triangle. the area of the other is
A = 1/2*4*3
A = 1/2 * 12
A = 6
now find the area of the rectangle
A = l*w
A = 9*3
A = 27
add them all together
27 + 6+ 3 = 36
the area of the total figure is 36
The are would be 25
and we could make 3 squares. 75
5inches will be left over.
The dimensions of the smaller box are half those of the larger box. This means that:
*Length of smaller box= length of larger box/2= 24/2= 12cm.
*height of smaller box= height of larger box/2= 30/2= 15cm.
*width of smaller box= width of larger box/2= 10/2= 5cm.
3 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 / 2 x 2 x 2
48 / 2 x 4
[48 can be simplified to 24 x 2 and 4 can be simplified to 2 x 2]
24 x 2 / 2 x 2 x 2
[24 can be simplified to 12 x 2]
12 x 2 x 2 / 2 x 2 x 2
[12 can be simplified to 6 x 2]
6 x 2 x 2 x 2 / 2 x 2 x 2
[6 can be simplified to 3 x 2]
3 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 / 2 x 2 x 2
