How to solve 4k-1.5k=50

1 answer:

6 0

Combine like terms-- you can combine the k's:
$4k-1.5k=2.5k$

Now you have:
$2.5k=50$

Simply divide both sides by 2.5 to find the value of k:
$\frac{2.5k}{2.5}=\frac{50}{2.5}\\\\k=20$

Find the area of the triangle ABC with the coordinates of A(10, 15) B(15, 15) C(30, 9).

Check the picture below. so, that'd be the triangle's sides hmmm so let's use Heron's Area formula for it.

$~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{\large distance between 2 points}}{d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}}~\hfill~ \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{15}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{15}) ~\hfill a=\sqrt{[ 15- 10]^2 + [ 15- 5]^2} \\\\\\ ~\hfill \boxed{a=\sqrt{125}} \\\\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{15}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{15})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{30}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{9}) ~\hfill b=\sqrt{[ 30- 15]^2 + [ 9- 15]^2} \\\\\\ ~\hfill \boxed{b=\sqrt{261}}$

$(\stackrel{x_1}{30}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{9})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) ~\hfill c=\sqrt{[ 10- 30]^2 + [ 5- 9]^2} \\\\\\ ~\hfill \boxed{c=\sqrt{416}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\qquad \textit{Heron's area formula} \\\\ A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\qquad \begin{cases} s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ a=\sqrt{125}\\ b=\sqrt{261}\\ c=\sqrt{416}\\ s\approx 23.87 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A\approx\sqrt{23.87(23.87-\sqrt{125})(23.87-\sqrt{261})(23.87-\sqrt{416})}\implies \boxed{A\approx 90}$
