Simple Magnetic Flux Prob...

Homework Statement


2hrljjl.jpg


What is the magnitude of magnetic flux through the loop? (a=22 cm, b=27 cm, B1=1.2 T, B2=1.7 T.)


Homework Equations


MF = AB cos theta


The Attempt at a Solution


MF = AB
So wouldn't I just do ((0.2m * 0.2m) * 1.2) + ((0.22m * 0.27m) * 1.7)
but that's not getting me the right answer...what am I doing wrong?
