+60 Can someone define for me what it means for a shape to be "bounded?"
Here is an example problem with the term:
What is the area, in square units, of the triangle bounded by y = 0, y = x + 4 and x + 3y = 12?
+129852 Zectico, look at the graph of the area bounded (enclosed) by these three lines here....https://www.desmos.com/calculator/qsh8xqglfs
We have a triangle with its vertex points at (-4, 0), (12, 0) and (0, 4)
The height of this triangle is 4 and the base is 16.....so the area is just (1/2)bh = (1/2)16(4) = 32 sq units
