2-1/4
2/1=8/4 Multiply top and bottom by 4
8/4-1/4
7/4
1 3/4
Even though we are using variables, we still know that "difference" means subtraction. So, if the larger is x1 and x2, those variables go first. The smaller, y1 and y2 will go second. So our problem will look like this:
(x1 < x2 ? x2 : x1) - (y1 < y2 ? y1 : y2)
If you look carefully at the graph, you may see that the slope of the line is
3-4 -1
---------------- = ------ = m
7-4 3
thus, you have the slope of the line and two points on the line. Suppose we
choose the point (4,4) and subst. the known slope and the coordinates of this point into the point-slope formula for the eqn of a str line:
y-y1 = m (x-x1)
y-4 = (-1/3)(x-4)
This is the desired equation. You could, if you wished, change this into slope-intercept form.
a) This part is already complete I think..
b) This is a cuboid and lateral surface area of cuboid is: 2(lb +bh + hl)
= 2( 10 × 3 + 3 × 7 + 7 × 10)
= 2(30 + 21 + 70)
= 2 × 121 = 242 cm²
Now, the area of top & bottom: lb
= 2 × 10 × 3
= 60 cm²
Neglecting the top & bottom surface area of cuboid:
= 242 - 60
= 180 cm²
c) The total surface area us 242.. I have already done that part above...
