To calculate the area of the letter "H" you can break it down into simple shapes such as rectangles and squares.
Let's break down the letter "H" into three rectangles:
1. The main rectangle: 5 cm wide and 10 cm tall
2. Top rectangle: 5 cm wide and 2 cm tall
3. Bottom rectangle: 5 cm wide and 2 cm tall
Calculate the area of each rectangle:
1. Main rectangle: 5 cm x 10 cm = 50 square cm
2. Top rectangle: 5 cm x 2 cm = 10 square cm
3. Bottom rectangle: 5 cm x 2 cm = 10 square cm
Add the areas of all three rectangles together to find the total area of the letter "H":
50 square cm + 10 square cm + 10 square cm = 70 square cm
So, the artist will need 70 square centimeters of gold leaf to cover the letter "H".
An artist wants to cover in gold leaf a card with the initial letter shown.
Decompose the letter into simple shapes to find the area. How many square centimeters of gold leaf will the artist need? Do not round your answer. Letter: H how do I get to 10.65??
