yes lets start 

Sort of but right now isint there a more explanatory way to do it not to be rude..... 

That is alittle confusing 

So each triangle will be 8 then I have my center shape the messurments are 4*8=32 if supposed to be divided by 1/2 or 2 then 24 

so 8+8+16=32

If I am not supposed to divided by 1/2 or 2 with 32 the answers below

8+8+32=48

once we have the answers do we divided it by 1/2  like I got 48 do I divided it by 2 

2x8=16

If I am supposed to divided by 1/2 or 2 it would then =8 

So frst for the small triangle the mesurmnts are 2*8=16  

Then the shape on the right is mesurments are 6*8=48

So next 16/2=8  

now 8+48=56 

Answer is 56 

is this correct please tell me if not I got confused at the part were you find which one divides by 1/2 or 2 I think it is the smallest number that is divided becasuse my other problem was sort of based off this so I was thinking to do the small plus it is the triangle part of the shape and we divided by 2 or 1/2 o the mesurments of the triangle part like right now it is 2*8=16    

so then 16/2 or 1/2=8 

Thanks

5*5=25

5*3=15

15/2=7.5

so 

7.5+25=32.5   

Wow I cant Belive thanks curiousdude for laying that out and thanks everyone else for laying it out to but I think curiousdude really made clear of it and Cphill becasue he was going step by step..... 

Thanks Dimitristhym for your private tutoring and offering time to help me!
