The area of the base would be found using the area of a triangle formula which is 1/2 x base x height.
The base and height are the two sides perpendicular to each other, which are both 5 inches.
The area of the base = 1/2 x 5 x 5 = 12.5 square inches.
The volume of the triangular prism is the area of the base times the height, which is 4 inches.
Volume of the triangular prism is 12.5 x 4 = 50 cubic inches.
Volume of the triangular prism is 1/3 x area of base x height, which is 7:
Volume of the triangular prism = 1/3 x 12.5 x 7 = 29.17 cubic inches.
Total volume = 29.17 + 50 = 79.17 cubic inches.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Finding the sol'n to f(x) - g(x) = 0 is the same as finding the solution of f(x)=g(x). You could do this analytically by setting the actual function f(x) = g(x) and solving for x (and then for y), or you could estimate the solution from the given graph. The two lines intersect at approx. x=-3.75, y=2.5.
