Answer 1

Bad link.

Answer 2

@robtobey @RyGuy @HelloJonathan

Answer 3

Post it a different way.

Answer 4

how do i do it @IMStuck

Answer 5

I can't open your link.

Answer 6

how do i, post pic so you can see it?

Answer 7

can you draw it?

Answer 8

can you see it? @IMStuck

Answer 9

Yes that's perfect. You need to find the area of that?

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

Ok, let me look at it to see the best way to go about it.

Answer 12

Ok, the way I would do it the way you will first learn how to figure the area under a curve in calculus...by counting the squares. Literally count the whole squares, then start putting halves together to make one, and you will get your answer. When I counted them I was off by just 1.

Answer 13

That's the easiest way. The other way is to separate the whole thing into individual shapes, like triangles and squares etc. and then find the individual areas of each and add them together to find the total area. Whichever you want; they will both work here.

Answer 14

i got 67 lol @IMStuck

Answer 15

I had gotten 66, but the closest to that is 65. That would be your answer. Do you want me to check it by finding all the individual areas? I can.

Answer 16

It comes to a perfect 65 when you find all the individual areas. So you were close enough to use your answer to find the correct one. That is how your teacher will probably begin teaching you to find area under a curve before going to Reimann sums.

Answer 17

oh thank you so much, you are great.. can you maybe help me with one more? @IMStuck

Answer 18

What do you have?

Answer 19

Using the image below, find the y value for the point that divides the line segment XY into a ratio of 1:2.

Answer 20

−0.7

−2.3

−0.3

−0.2

Answer 21

@IMStuck

Answer 22

let me look at it for a sec...

Answer 23

sure

Answer 24

Ok this is kind of confusing so I will try to explain it the easiest way I know how. Ok? You are wanting to divide the line so you have 1 segment to 2 segments, which means you are dividing it into 3 equal parts. You want the y coordinate that is one-third the way from x to y. I recommend doing it like this...
