Answer:   The area is 15 square units

Step-by-step explanation:  It is helpful to sketch the coordinates on a graph to get an idea of what the triangle looks like so you can see which side will be the base, and where to get the height. You will see that AB is the hypotenuse, it is a right triangle, so AC can be the base and BC is the height.

Use the differences in x-values of points C & A to get the length of the base:   2-(-3) is 5

Use the differences in y-values of points B & C to get the height:

4-(-2) = 6

Area = bh/2

A = 5×6/2 = 30/2

A = 15 square unts

The base of a solid in the first quadrant of the xy plane is a right triangle bounded by the coordinate axes and the line x + y
Ivahew [28]

The area of an equilateral triangle of side "s" is s^2*sqrt(3)/4. So the volume of the slices in your problem is 

(x - x^2)^2 * sqrt(3)/4. 

Integrating from x = 0 to x = 1, we have 

[(1/3)x^3 - (1/2)x^4 + (1/5)x^5]*sqrt(3)/4 

= (1/30)*sqrt(3)/4 = sqrt(3)/120 = about 0.0144. 

Since this seems quite small, it makes sense to ask what the base area might be...integral from 0 to 1 of (x - x^2) dx = (1/2) - (1/3) = 1/6. Yes, OK, the max height of the triangles occurs where x - x^2 = 1/4, and most of the triangles are quite a bit shorter...

True [87]

Answer:

6.27

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to obtain the standard deviation of the given values :

{24, 18, 31,25, 34}

The standard deviation = √(Σ(x - mean)²/ n)

The mean = (ΣX) /n

Using calculator to save computation time :

The standard deviation, s = 6.27 (2 decimal places)

Paladinen [302]
The formula for the volume of a cube whose sides are s inches longs is volume = s^3 cu. in which is A on the choice you provided. We all know that 3 is for cube and the s^3 in the formula saying that s^3 is s cube, we will just include the inches and the cube o the formula which will be the choice A.
