Consider the attached figure. The whole rectangle is ABCD, while AEGF is the part located in the third quadrant. In fact, this quadrant is composed by all the points with both coordinates negative.

To answer the question, let's compute the area of the two rectangles and see what part of ABCD is AEGF.

A and B have the same x coordinate, so the length of AB is given by the absolute difference of their y coordinates:

\overline{AB} = |A_y-B_y| = |-3-7| = |-10| = 10

Similarly, but exchanging the role of x and y, we compute the length of BC:

\overline{BC} = |B_x-C_x| = |-4-1| = |-5| = 5

So, the area of the rectangle is \overline{AB} \cdot \overline{BC} = 10\cdot 5 = 50

The same procedure allows us to compute width and height of the sub-rectangle in the third quadrant:

\overline{AE} = |A_y-E_y| = |-3-0| = |-3| = 3

\overline{EG} = |E_x-G_x| = |-4-0| = |-4| = 4

So, the area of the portion located in the third quadrant is \overline{AE} \cdot \overline{EG} = 3\cdot 4 = 12

This means that the ratio between the two area is

\cfrac{\text{area }AEGF}{\text{area }ABCD} = \cfrac{12}{50}

If we want this ratio to be a percentage, just make sure that the denominator is 100:

\cfrac{12}{50} = \cfrac{12}{50}\cdot \cfrac{2}{2} = \cfrac{24}{100} = 24\%

PLS HELP <br> What is the median of this data set?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

$3.50

Step-by-step explanation:

add up all the x's and distribute them starting from the outside until you get to the middle. if there is an odd number of x's (which there isn't), the last x to be placed will be on the spot that is the median. If there is an even number of x's, and they both land on the same spot, that spot will be the median, and if they are next to each other, the median will be between them.
