Please please please help

I know it’s not worth a lot of points but I really need help



Find the total area of khiannas fish. Make use of symmetry and repeated calculations to simplify the problem. Include all of you work in your response






Part 2: constrict an image of an animal of your choosing ( something other than a fish) completely out of triangles and right triangles. Make sure that your image consists of at least eight shaped. At lest one of your shapes must be a rectangle and at least must be a right triangle.
Measure the sides of the individual shaped and find the total area of the composite figure.
Be sure to include in your response
• the “ animal” image you have created
• the computation you preformed finding the areas of the animals composite parts
• the total area of the figure

Please please please help I know it’s not worth a lot of points but I really need-example-1

The triangle in the front has base
2+2 and height
4.5 so area
\frac 1 2(2+2)(4.5)

The top fin is
\frac 1 2(2.25+0.75)(3)

The back fin is
\frac 1 2(4.5)(3+5)

The bottom fin
\frac 1 2 (1+.5)(1)

The back of the fish by the tail,
\frac 1 2 (2+2)(4.5)

The four little triangles,
4 (\frac 1 2 )(.5)(1.5)

Two thin rectangles,
2(.5)(5)

One big rectangle
(2+2)(1.5+5+1.5)


Adding it all up


\frac 1 2 ( (2+2)(4.5) + (2.25+0.75)(3)+ (4.5)(3+5)+(1+.5)(1)+(2+2)(4.5)+4(.5)(1.5)) +2(.5)(5)+(2+2)(1.5+5+1.5) = 122.5

Probably a mistake in there somewhere; check it good.
