Sahil is using a map to estimate the area of California. He thinks the state could best be outlined by an irregular octagon. He draws the polygon shown to approximate its shape. 1.) What do you think Sahil’s approach to estimating the area of California? Would you do anything Different?

2.) Estimate the part of California’s border that is coastline (show your work).

3.) Estimate the Length of California’s boarder. (Show your work).

4.) Estimate the percent of California’s boarder that is coastline. (Show your work).

the answer will be the last one

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y

0       8

1       7.6

2       7.2

3       6.8

step-by-step explanation:

the domain of a function is the set of input values, x , for which a function is defined. the domain is shown in the left oval in the picture below. the function provides an output value, f(x) , for each member of the domain.

c-   36
