What is the area of the triangle?
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
7 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several ways the area of triangle EBD can be found.
- find the lengths EB, BD, DE and use Heron's formula (messy due to roots of roots being involved).
- define point G at the lower left corner and subtract the areas of ∆DEG and BCD from trapezoid BCGE.
- figure the area from the coordinates of the vertices.
- use Pick's theorem and count the dots.
We choose the latter.

Pick's theorem says the area of a polygon can be found as ...
A = i + b/2 -1
where i is the number of grid intersection points interior to the polygon, b is the number of grid points intersected by the border.
The attached figure shows the lines EB, BD, and DE intersect one point in addition to the vertices. So, b=4. A count of the red dots reveals 6 interior points (i=6). So, the area is ...
A = 6 + (4/2) -1 = 7
The area of ∆EBD is 7 square units.

we know that
total amount of sap =[3*(1/4)+2*(3/8)+4*(5/8)+1*(1)]
total amount of sap =[(3/4)+(6/8)+(20/8)+(1)]
total amount of sap =[(3/4)+(3/4)+(10/4)+(4/4)]
total amount of sap =[20/4]
total amount of sap =5 gallons
total of trees=10
<span>[amount of sap collected from each tree]=total amount of sap/total of trees
</span>
[amount of sap collected from each tree]=5/10----> 0.5 gallons per tree
the answer is
0.5 gallons
we know that
total amount of sap =[3*(1/4)+2*(3/8)+4*(5/8)+1*(1)]
total amount of sap =[(3/4)+(6/8)+(20/8)+(1)]
total amount of sap =[(3/4)+(3/4)+(10/4)+(4/4)]
total amount of sap =[20/4]
