The area of this rectangle is x*y. But, this problem requires that you represent the variable "y" in terms of "x" only.
A hint here is that the variable "y" represent a point on the line that connects the end points (0,b) and (a,0).
The first step to solve this problem is to get the expression of this line.
The slope of this line is: m = (0 - b)/(a - 0) = -b/a
Because the point (x,y) is on this line we have: y - b = m(x - 0)
y = (-b/a)x + b
Solution: Area of the rectangle = x*y = x*((-b/a)x + b) = (-b/a)x2 +bx
Answer:
Answer:
The range is 15
Explanation:
The box and whisker plot is from 5 to 20
The range is:
20 - 5 =15
Answer:
a. 15/2 or 7.5 sqcm
b. 20 sqcm
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a triangle is (base × height)/2.
A = (5×3)/2
A = 15/2 = 7.5cm^2
The area of a parallelogram is just base × height, but yoy have to choose wisely what is the base and height. These two measurements must be perpendicular. So the 4 and 5 are perpendicular. We won't use the measurement 6cm at all.
Area = 4×5
Area = 20 sqcm
