Answer: 72 nickels and 15 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

72 times .05 = 3.6 or $3.60

15 times .25 = $3.75

Total = $7.35

.05 is representing the nickels and .25 is representing the quarters and if you take a calculator and do 87-72 you get 15 and you can set it up yourself to double check. But I wouldn't recommend doing it with pennies that's how I got confused so many times and you can also give yourself a similar problem if you want to make sure you know how to do it. Sorry if this was confusing.

Find the area of the triangle whose vertices are (0,4) , (0,0) and (2,0) by plotting them on graph

Luden [163]

Refer to the attached image. Since one vertex is the origin and the other two lay on the coordinate axes, the triangle is a right triangle. This means that, if we consider AB to the be base, AC is his height, and vice versa.

Anyway, it means that the area is given by

$A = \cfrac{\overline{AB}\times\overline{AC}}{2}$

Since AB is a horizontal segment and AC is a vertical segment, their length is given by the absolute difference of the non-constant coordinate: points A and B share the same x coordinate, so we subtract the y coordinates:

$\overline{AB} = |2-0| = |2| = 2$
