chat please help with my lil bros HW I forgot how to do it I learned it like 6 years ago. geometry

[quartz pebble]

the original message was deleted?

[zealous beacon]

I’ll send again

this

bruh it’s easy but I forgor

[quartz pebble]

which part?

[zealous beacon]

all 4

[quartz pebble]

sure, which one do you want to start with?

[zealous beacon]

uh 66

[quartz pebble]

okay, let's do that

one thing I want to say before this though

please don't advertise your help channel/thread in any of the discussion channels

it's not permitted

I just feel like helping rn

[zealous beacon]

mb bro im new here

[quartz pebble]

it's okay

no problem

anyways, 66

the perimeter of a shape is the distance around the shape

so you need to find the lengths of all four sides of the parallelogram, and add them up

[zealous beacon]

ok

[quartz pebble]

as for the area, well

[zealous beacon]

im just a lil confused HOW to do that

[quartz pebble]

you have the lengths of the sides already

it's outright given in the problem

[zealous beacon]

so 8 + 5 + 3.5

correct b

?

[quartz pebble]

nono

[zealous beacon]

oh

[quartz pebble]

let's do it one by one

[zealous beacon]

8 + 5 + 5

idk that’s what I think

[quartz pebble]

that's only three sides

you're missing one

[zealous beacon]

0h the top?

[quartz pebble]

indeed

[zealous beacon]

is the top 6 inch?

[quartz pebble]

in a parallelogram, the opposite sides are equal in length

by definition, a parallelogram has two pairs of sides with equal length

so the opposite side to the bottom (which is the top) must have the same length as the bottom

[zealous beacon]

16 + 10 then?

[quartz pebble]

yes

so the perimeter equals...?

[zealous beacon]

26

now area

my brain go KABOOOOM

[quartz pebble]

the left is the original

on the right, I've scratched out the triangle on the left and replaced it with an identical one on the right

I hope this convinces you that the area of a parallelogram is equal to that of a rectangle

[zealous beacon]

ight

[quartz pebble]

you're missing units here btw

[zealous beacon]

wym

[quartz pebble]

26 is just a number

26 what?

[zealous beacon]

in

[quartz pebble]

inches, yes

here's a limerick I like that serves to remind you why units are important

[zealous beacon]

what’s the area though?

[quartz pebble]

.

same as a rectangle

what's the area of a rectangle?

[zealous beacon]

uh

brain can’t process that it’s 4am

[quartz pebble]

you should really be sleeping then...

[zealous beacon]

gotta finsh this first

otherwise lil bro is cooked

[quartz pebble]

,tex . plane geometry

[sleek cobalt]

higher!

[quartz pebble]

rectangle is in the top middle square

or you can have this

[zealous beacon]

I looked it up online

and that’s all that came up

[quartz pebble]

you're given the width and the height in the question already

use that information to get the area

[zealous beacon]

is number 69

126.56 cm^2

[quartz pebble]

where did you get that from?

can you show your work?

[zealous beacon]

uh

[zealous beacon]

can’t

is it right or wrong

[quartz pebble]

why not?

[zealous beacon]

there is none

[quartz pebble]

how did you get that number then?

[zealous beacon]

I researched online

[zealous beacon]

research

im a detective

[quartz pebble]

to get the area, you need to multiply the length and the height of this rectangle together

what is the length of the rectangle?

[zealous beacon]

no no I said #69

not 66

[quartz pebble]

[quartz pebble]

it is not correct

[zealous beacon]

aw

I just want sleep

😭

[quartz pebble]

can't you go to bed and do this problem tomorrow?

what's the problem with that?

[zealous beacon]

no it has to be done today

like he has school

and he’s got that one teacher

and he’s cooled

[quartz pebble]

why are you being asked for help then

[zealous beacon]

uh he needs help ig

bro woke me up

😭

[quartz pebble]

anyways, please answer this...

[zealous beacon]

uh

ima go 40^2

[quartz pebble]

for the length?

[zealous beacon]

ohh

man my brain can’t process it

[quartz pebble]

blue + red = 8 inches, right?

[zealous beacon]

✅

[quartz pebble]

do you agree that red + blue is still 8 inches?

green + blue + red is our new rectangle

[zealous beacon]

BH is how you find area right

[quartz pebble]

yes

[zealous beacon]

ye

[zealous beacon]

what’s B

B and Height

[quartz pebble]

base

base = length

so our base has length 8 inches

what is the height?

hint: look at the original problem!

it's labelled!

[zealous beacon]

3.5

[quartz pebble]

good

[zealous beacon]

and the base is what

mind telling me

[quartz pebble]

3.5 inches

[zealous beacon]

I want slep

[quartz pebble]

#1280713019566854246 message

[zealous beacon]

uh

[zealous beacon]

I can’t see

[quartz pebble]

click it

[zealous beacon]

I can’t

[quartz pebble]

what

[zealous beacon]

8

[zealous beacon]

its 8

[quartz pebble]

8 inches

so the area is base*height = ?

[zealous beacon]

ok so 8 and 3.5

now what

[quartz pebble]

can you read what I wrote

[zealous beacon]

ye

I think

[quartz pebble]

I'm asking you to do the calculation

not agree/disagree

[zealous beacon]

I can’t

am gonna sleep

[quartz pebble]

I am not going to do all your work for you

that's not my job

use a calculator if you need to

that's fine

[zealous beacon]

do I do 3.5 X 8

💀

[quartz pebble]

base = 8 inches, height = 3.5 inches, so base * height = ...

[quartz pebble]

3.5 inches * 8 inches yes

what do you get?

[zealous beacon]

what’s *

x?

[quartz pebble]

multiply

[zealous beacon]

28

[quartz pebble]

,calc 8*3.5

[sleek cobalt]

Result:

28

[quartz pebble]

units?

what're the units?

28 ___

[zealous beacon]

Inches

[quartz pebble]

no

you can't measure the area of a piece of paper using inches

[zealous beacon]

uh

[quartz pebble]

8 inches * 3.5 inches = 28 inches*inches

what is inches*inches?

[zealous beacon]

I don’t understand at all..

[quartz pebble]

this is why units are important to put into your equation

[quartz pebble]

the base is 8 inches, not just 8. likewise, the height is 3.5 inches, not just 3.5

so their product is (8 inches) * (3.5 inches)

[zealous beacon]

ik

[quartz pebble]

you have to multiply both the numbers and the units together

not just the numbers

@zealous beacon parallelogram was the shape

also... I must apologize

I sort of lied, because I didn't check the time

I need to go to bed in a few min, actually

[zealous beacon]

ok

<@&286206848099549185> if anybody is willing to take over this thread for me, I would greatly appreciate it

[zealous beacon]

no
