The area of the polygon is 25.5 square units

<h3>How to determine the area of the polygon?</h3>

From the figure, we have the following coordinates

A = (-2, 1)

B = (3, 2)

C = (5, -3)

D = (-1, -3)

The area of the polygon is then calculated as:

A = 0.5 * |(x1y2 - x2y1) + (x2y3 - x3y2) + (x3y4 - x4y3) + (x4y1 - x1y4)|

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Area = 0.5 * |(-2 * 2 - 3 * 1) + (3 * -3 - 5 * 2) + (5 * -3 + 1 * -3) + (-1 * 1 + 2 * -3)|

Evaluate the sum of products

Area = 0.5 * |-51|

Remove the absolute bracket

Area = 0.5 * 51

Evaluate the product

Area = 25.5

Hence, the area of the polygon is 25.5 square units

A regulation basketball has a diameter of about 9 in. What is the best approximation for the volume of this ball? 3050 in³ 382 i

Mandarinka [93]

The best apporximation for the volume of this ball is 382 cubic inches.

<h3>What is the volume of the ball?</h3>

The volume of the ball is calculated by the formula V = 4 / 3πr³. This formula is the same in the whole world.

Given

A regulation basketball has a diameter of about 9 in.

The radius of the ball is;

$\rm Radius = \dfrac{Diameter}{2}\\\\Radius=\dfrac{9}{2}\\\\Radius=4.5\ inches$

The volume of the ball is;

$\rm Volume =\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\\Volume=\dfrac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 4.5^3\\\\Volume =\dfrac{144.53}{3}\\\\Volume = 381.51\\\\Volume = 382 \ In^3 \ apporx$

Hence, the best apporximation for the volume of this ball is 382 cubic inches.
