A boat's value over time is given as the function f(x) and graphed below. Use A(x) = 400(b)x + 0 as the parent function. Which graph shows the boat's value decreasing at a rate of 40% per year

18 units²

step-by-step explanation:

first let's find altitude bd using the distance formula

d = √((y₂ - y₁)² + (x₂ - x₁)²)

bd = √((0 - -3)² + (0 - 3)²)

bd = √18

given the placement of points a and c, we can denote that point d bisects segment ac.

we will call ac the base.

using the distance formula

ac = √((0 - 6)² + (-6 - 0)²)

ac = √72

knowing our base and our height, we can plug these into our triangle area formula

area = (b * h)/2

area = (√18 * √72) / 2

area = (√1296) / 2

area = 36 / 2

area = 18 units²

the correct answers are 1, 2, 4, and 5! i just got it right!

my answer was deleted because it was to vague the answer is 12.76 becuase its in the hundreths place. john
