Break up the figure into easier figures, a small square and a bigger square.
Small square- 3*2*1 = 6 cm
Large Square- 7*6*1 = 42 cm
42 + 6 = 48 cm. But wait! You have to take one more step, which is minus-ing 6 from 48. Why? Notice that there is a little area where a side of the small square meets the bigger square. That little area is worth 3 cm ( length is 3, height is 1 cm ) times 2 ( 3 cm is one side, another 3 cm is the other side from the other square ) = 6 cm.
Your total answer should be 42. ( or 48, if your teacher doesn't count the area where the squares meet/join together ).
I think it is D
Hope my answer help you?
40x - 24 - 33x - 77 = 102
40x - 33x = 102 + 24 + 77
7x = 203
x = 29
You have to remember P.E.M.D.A.S. when doing problems like this.
Drew used PEMDAS so we know he isn't wrong. However, Sam didn't use PEMDAS. She multiplied 2&5 instead of raising 5 to the second.
The correct answer for Sams' problem would be 30.
Hope this helps! :)
