Cause it's easy, but would take time.

All you need is pythagorean theorem, area of a triangle, area of a rectangle, and addition.

I’d feel bad if I couldn’t do these problems. Definitely doesn’t take a mathematician.

For the star and rocket ship - you have to take all the parts individually and then add it together. For the perimeter and the area.

On the rocket ship, Since each square is 1cm - it’s easy to measure - you’re given the other odd measurements.

Which one you want? I’m not doing 5th grade homework while I sit at a restaurant bar and watch golf.

No - the kid should know how to do that if not, the teacher shouldn’t be sending stuff home that’s not covered in class

I gave the method - I’m not doing the work. If dad just gives the answer to the kid that doesn’t help the kid at all.

Only thing I know about mathematicians is that they will tell you how to work out constipation.

(With a pencil.)

Only one that’s a troll is you - I provided how to do it

perimeter is adding all the measurements of each side together

Area has different formulas - take each part individually, use the formula to solve for the area area and add it together

Not giving the answer - dad and kid need to figure it out - all the formulas can be googled if he doesn’t have the book

Dad won’t be there for the test
