Question

Find the area

Answer 1

im suppose to get 13/2 as my answer but im not getting that...

Answer 2

Well the area of a triangle is
\[1/2 b h\]

Answer 3

i got 9/4 for the area of the triangle 1/2(1.5*3)

Answer 4

where your base is from
-1 to 1.5
so that would be 2.5
then your height is 4

Answer 5

can you take a pic of the problem i need something more precise than the drawing

Answer 6

Do you have the exact location of where the height ends

Answer 7

nope

Answer 8

this is it..but i need to get the area from the graph at the bottom of this site...

Answer 9

well i know the b= 2.5
1/2 (2.5) ( h) , my height looks like its greater than 4 and a little past 5
now that you gave the graph we can see that when x is -1 the function has a
value of 5 which will be our height
1/2(2.5) (5)
12.5 /2

Answer 10

thats the are of the large triangle

Answer 11

*area
are u following me

Answer 12

yes go on..

Answer 13

The smaller triangle has a base of 1 and a height of 1
1/2(1)(1)=
Area of the big triangle and the smaller one
=1/2 +12.5/2
=13.5/2

Answer 14

ok continue im getting that..

Answer 15

actually I'm looking at the attachment you sent. Do you see that the smaller triangle actually starts at 1.5 and ends at 2.
so our base is actually .5 and our height is 1
1/2(1/2) (1)
= 1/4

So now we know the 2 areas of the triangle and we can add them

12.5/2 + 1/4
25/4 +1/4
26/4
13/2

Answer 16

o my gosh and thats all..lol thanks alot...

Answer 17

yeah it wasn't that hard its just breaking them into 2 triangles and then adding them
