They charge fees so they can cover there costs and return value to shareholders
Answer: Bottom-Right corner
The points are (-5,6) (-5,-6) (4,-6)
-----------------------------------------
Explanation:
What you do is go through each of the answer choices, plot the points, and see which give you a right triangle. A right triangle has one 90 degree angle.
The upper-left choice leads to an obtuse triangle, so we can cross that off the list. It turns out that the other choices lead to right triangles.
The upper-right choice has a hypotenuse of roughly 11.18, so that's also eliminated
The bottom-left choice has a hypotenuse of 10.82, which means we cross that off the list
The bottom-right choice has a hypotenuse of 15, so we found the answer
Note: you use the distance formula to find the length of the hypotenuse. The distance formula is
d = sqrt((x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2)
($3.91)(0.09) = $0.3519
$3.91 + 0.3519 = $4.2619 per gallon
if you're looking for the total expense next year:
($4.2619)(370 gallons) = $1,576.903
