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.

An iterated integral is the outcome of taking integrals toward a function of more than one variable in such a way that part of the variables is treated as constants for each of the integrals.
From the given parameters, we are to write out five iterations for a triple integral;
where;
- the region is bounded by 0 ≤ z ≤ y, 0 ≤ y ≤ x², 0 ≤ x ≤ 8.
Thus, since x, y, z are functions of at least one variable, we can have the following iterations:
