Theresa created a piece of art by attaching a square plank to a triangular plank. The square plank has a perimeter of 48 inches. The triangular plank has a base length of 12 inches and a height of 6 inches. She wants to cover the piece of art with colored paper. How many square inches of paper are needed to cover Theresa's art piece?

answer: on graphs, the open and closed circles, or vertical asymptotes drawn as dashed lines us identify discontinuities.

as before, graphs and tables allow us to estimate at best.

when working with formulas, getting zero in the denominator indicates a point of discontinuity.

when working with piecewise-defined functions, check for discontinuities at the transition points where one piece ends and the next begins.
