5.2.4: Area of Triangle Write a function that computes the area of a triangle given its base and height.

The formula for an area of a triangle is:

AREA = 1/2 * BASE * HEIGHT

For example, if the base was 5 and the height was 4, the area would be 10.

triangle_area(5, 4); # should print 10

Your function must be named triangle_area

Note: Be sure to include comments for all functions that you use or create.

Acomputer has a two-level cache. suppose that 60% of the memory references hit on the first level cache, 35% hit on the second level, and 5% miss. the access times are 5 nsec, 15 nsec, and 60 nsec, respectively, where the times for the level 2 cache and memory start counting at the moment it is known that they are needed (e. g., a level 2 cache access does not even start until the level 1 cache miss occurs). what is the average access time?

3. ranga ramasesh is the operations manager for a firm that is trying to decide which one of four countries it should research for possible outsourcing providers. the first step is to select a country based on cultural risk factors, which are critical to eventual business success with the provider. ranga has reviewed outsourcing provider directories and found that the four countries in the table that follows have an ample number of providers from which they can choose. to aid in the country selection step, he has enlisted the aid of a cultural expert, john wang, who has provided ratings of the various criteria in the table. the resulting ratings are on a 1 to 10 scale, where 1 is a low risk and 10 is a high risk. john has also determined six criteria weightins: trust, with a weight of 0.3; quality, with 0.2; religious, with 0.1; individualism, with 0.2; time, with 0.1; and uncertainity, with 0.1. using the factor-rating method, which country should ranga select? why?
