OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1431046840557:dw| if you see it from a side. It looks like a triangle correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1431046887223:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the Area of it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A\[A=\frac{ h*b }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

h = height , b = base

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 12 * 16 / 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about the m?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

96 what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now we find the perimeter of the base. B= 20+12+16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So we have A = 96, B=48 and we are left with the height (h=15m).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now plug them in on the SA formula SA=2A+Bh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

192+720=912?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is another formula you can use: SA = wh + lw + lh + ls

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about the m's?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what the measure you use when you find the area of something?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know to be honest lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

square

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 912msquared?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the answer to the problem? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, that was just the answer for a problem I had in mind :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol are you joking? :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think :p?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, well what did we just solve? haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my question :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly soo what was the question again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you good with rate of change?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mhm I'll have to see it to refresh memory.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me take a screen shot one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just find the slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you have any notes -.-?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its a test before the class lessons. the more i get correct the less i have to do, i know y=mx+b is slope formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m is slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b is y intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well how do you find the slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have graduation in 2 weeks, trying to finish this last half credit and i have a 2 month old so im doing the best i can with the time i have :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to know all this things because they will haunt you back over and over on next level of maths hehehe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, well first you need 2 points.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since you already have one equation and 2 x's . Use the x's to find 2 y's that way you have 2 points to find the slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and id really like to thank you, you have been a huge help these past few days <3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

combine the x's?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have x=2 and x=6. First plug x=2 into the equation to find the first y. Then do the same for x=6 to find the second point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok one second! let me write it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

h=5 and h=8.3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mhmm no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[h(x) = - x^2 +2x + 2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[h(2) = -(2)^2 + 2(2) + 2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do the next steps.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2h=-4+4+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2h=2 divide by 2 get h=1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did the 2h appear?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

h(2)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is not equals to 2h. That means when x=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what should the equaation look like ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[h(2)= -4+4+2\] you are right on the right side. Solve that and you have your point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know what to do with the h(2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the right side is 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you don't touch that. That just mean h when x=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so h(2)=2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[h(2)=2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, that means that when x=2 then h = 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so h is really the y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so one point is 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, one point is (2,2).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the other is h(6) -22?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the other is 6-,22?
