When Elyse moved last weekend, the circular glass top for an end table broke. To replace it, she bought a circular glass top with a diameter of 22 inches. What is the approximate area of the circular glass top Elyse bought? (Use 3.14 for .)

step-by-step explanation:

we have

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

this is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open up

the vertex is a > vertex

the domain of the function is all real > interval (-∞,∞)

the range of the function is the > [-6.125,∞)

the function has two x->   and

the function is increasing over the > (0.25,∞)

the function is decreasing over the > (-∞,0.25)

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
