Answer:
I'm just assuming here ok so I'm sorry if I'm wrong but I think it took them 12hrs
Trapezoidal is involving averageing the heights
the 4 intervals are
[0,4] and [4,7.2] and [7.2,8.6] and [8.6,9]
the area of each trapezoid is (v(t1)+v(t2))/2 times width
for the first interval
the average between 0 and 0.4 is 0.2
the width is 4
4(0.2)=0.8
2nd
average between 0.4 and 1 is 0.7
width is 3.2
3.2 times 0.7=2.24
3rd
average betwen 1.0 and 1.5 is 1.25
width is 1.4
1.4 times 1.25=1.75
4th
average betwen 1.5 and 2 is 1.75
width is 0.4
0.4 times 1.74=0.7
add them all up
0.8+2.24+1.75+0.7=5.49
5.49
t=time
v(t)=speed
so the area under the curve is distance
covered 5.49 meters
First find the radius by taking half the diameter. Use the radius to find the base area by using the formula for the area of a circle. Find the product of the base area and height, and then take one-third of the product.
"A. 4x^4 is the answer so try that."
