Well, I used rectangles and triangles in my design. To calculate the area of a rectangle, you just multiply the length by the width. For a triangle, you can use the formula 1/2 * base * height.

Two strategies that can make it easier to find the area are breaking down complex shapes into smaller, simpler shapes and using grid paper to help visualize and count the squares within each shape.

Two strategies that can make it easier to find the area are:

1. Breaking down complex shapes into smaller, simpler shapes: By breaking down a shape into familiar shapes like squares, rectangles, and triangles, you can easily calculate the area of each smaller shape and then add them up to find the total area of the original shape.

2. Using grid paper: Grid paper can help you visualize the different shapes and count the squares within each shape to calculate the area. By counting the full squares and fractions of squares within each shape, you can quickly find the total area.

Alright, so I used a bunch of shapes in my design - triangles, right triangles, squares, trapezoids, thin rhombuses, and hexagons.

1. Break it down, yo: When a shape is too complex, break it down into smaller, simpler shapes that you know how to find the area of. Then just add up the areas of the smaller shapes to get the total area. Easy peasy.

2. Grid paper, fam: Grid paper is your best friend when it comes to finding the area of shapes. Just draw out the shapes on the grid paper and count the squares within each shape to calculate the area. It's like a visual cheat code for math.

I'm sorry if my previous responses didn't capture your voice accurately. Let me try again:

Yo, so I used all these cool shapes in my design - triangles, right triangles, squares, trapezoids, thin rhombuses, and hexagons.

1. Keep it simple: Break down those complicated shapes into smaller, easier shapes that you know how to find the area of. Then just add up the areas of the simpler shapes to find the total area.

2. Grid it up: Grid paper is where it's at for calculating areas of shapes. Sketch out your shapes on the grid paper and count the squares within each shape to figure out the area. It's like a math hack that makes things way easier.
