Answer: 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of triangle = (0.5) × base(b) × height(h)
Base of triangle = 8
Height of triangle = 15
Area of triangle = (0.5) × 8 × 15 = 60
Volume of triangular prism = B × height
Where h = height
B = area of triangle
Volume of triangular prism = 1080
Find the height(h) of the triangular prism
Volume of triangular prism = B × height
1080 = 60 × h
h = 1080 / 60
h = 18
Since we are asked to find the rate of change from Monday to Wednesday, we are dividing by 2, since Monday is day 1 and Wednesday is day 3. 3 - 1 = 2.
1800 + 500 = 2300 calories consumed Tuesday.
2300 - 100 = 2200 calories Wednesday.
(2200 - 1800)/2 = 400/2 = 200 calories
The correct choice is C .
