So, why is the base not included in the equation? 24 * 4 sides but it doesn't include the base.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not certain I understand your question.

Let's start at the beginning. What you are supposed to do is find the area of the 4 triangles.

QRP is one of the tringles.  It has a height of RS which is 6 cm. The base of the triangle comes from the square on the bottom of the diagram (and yes it is an optical illusion).

The square has a side length of 8 cm.

Area QRP = 1/2 * base * height

base = 8 cm

height = 6 cm

Area QRP = 1/2 * 8 *6 = 24   Oh that's where you got 24 * 4

There are 4 triangles that are the same as QRP so the answer is 24*4

The base of the triangle is included. It is just a bit disguised. It comes from the 24. Excellent question.

1oo divided into ratio 3:7
masha68 [24]
 <span>100 is not divisible by 3 when u divide 100 by 3 u get 33.333333...... not 3.33333..... 
the good explanation of your answer is that 0.999999....is equal to 1 
we can prove it by the following way: 
let x=0.9999.... 
then 10x = 9.999999..... 
subtract we will get 10x - x = 9.9999....- 0.99999...... 
which gives us 9x = 9 and therefore x =1 
i hope this will help u with your confusion.......  :)</span><span>
