The maximum number of marks attainable at a mathematics competition is 60. Kate obtains 40 marks, Priya obtains 46 marks, and Nora obtains 49 marks. The examination board decides that those who scored 80 % and above will get a gold medal, those who score 70 % to 79 % inclusive will get a silver medal and those who scored 60 % to 69 % inclusive will get a bronze medal. Determine the type of medal each of them will get

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Total marks = 60

Kate = 40 marks = 40/60 × 100 = 66.7%

Kate gets a bronze medal.

Priya = 46 marks = 46/60 × 100 = 76.7%

Priya gets a silver medal

Nora = 49 marks = 49/60 × 100 = 81.7%

Nora gets a good medal.

the area of a triangle is determined by the formula: base x height * 1/2

you'll need to assign a base to the triangle. based on the vertices given, the simplest base would be the line segment from (-2,1) to (2,1). the distance between any two numbers is found by just subtracting them. here, you should subtract the x values to find the distance of this side.

2 - (-2) = 4.

so the distance (aka the length of the base) is 4. the height of the triangle is the distance between the base and the highest point on the triangle which is (3,4). we should subtract the y values this time to find the height/distance.

4 - 1 = 3

so the height is 3.

base = 4

height = 3
