Thanks

Find the area

Line A has endpoints (2,2) and (2,-3)
Line B has endpoints (3,1) and (-3,-1)
Line C has endpoints (42,0) and (-100,0)

What is the area of the shape that is bounded by lines A,B and C. I do not have an OA. Can someone help with this.

Integers that lie on a circle

How can I solve this?. Don't have a OA.
A circle has radius of 5.How many points of the form (x,y) lie in the x-y plane where x and y are both integers that lie on the circle.

quick comparison

This may be a simple concept but it is eluding me now. How can you quickly estimate if sqrt(78*79*80*81) is greater than or less than 6400?

I thought that they are asking for the number of all possible words that could appear after the word "AFTER" in the dictionary using letters A,F,T,E,R. The word should atleast be more than 2 characters in length. Let me know if this helps.

So you are saying 2^90 > 2^15 * 5 ^15. How did you deduce that 2^75 does not satisfy the above inequality..How did you evaluate 2^75 < 2^15*5^15...Can someone provide a better explanation of how to compare numbers like these.
