Answer:

the area of ∆ABC = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

CA=\sqrt{\left( -1-2\right)^{2}  +\left( 2-5\right)^{2}  } = \sqrt{18} =3\sqrt{2}

CB=\sqrt{\left( 5-2\right)^{2}  +\left( 2-5\right)^{2}  } = \sqrt{18} =3\sqrt{2}

<em>Since</em> CA = CB  <em>then</em>  A(-1,2), B (5,2) and C (2,5) are the vertices of an isosceles triangle.

Area calculation:

Let The point H be the midpoint of side AB

x_{H}=\frac{-1+5}{2} =2\\y_{H}=\frac{2+2}{2} =2

Then

H(2 , 2)

therefore,

CH=\sqrt{\left( 2-2{}\right)^{2}  +\left( 2-5\right)^{2}  } =3

Finally,

\text{the area of triangle ABC} =\frac{\text{CH} \times \text{AB} }{2} =\frac{3\times 6}{2} =9

Katena32 [7]
The cost of the monthly fee is 50$.. if the joining fee is 100.. take 200 and subtract that fee since it is included in the total. You’re left with 100. Note, the 200 is calculated for a 2 month period, so split the remaining 100 ,from the total 200, into 2. You’re left with 50 each month.

T=(C-100)/2 (T being 1 month) (C being the total cost/200)

Can someone explain to me in words how to do this problem 3x+122=22x-11
inn [45]

When you have this type of problem, you need to combine the like-terms and isolate the variable.

3x + 122 = 22x - 11

Add 11 to both sides to get rid of it

3x + 122 + 11 = 22x - 11 + 11     (-11 + 11=0)

3x + 133 = 22x

Then you would bring the 3x to the other side, so subtract 3x from both sides

3x + 133 = 22x

-3x             -3x

133 = 22x - 3x

133 = 19x

Then divide both sides by 19 to isolate x

133/19 = 19x/19

133/19 = 7, so x = 7

Hope this helps!!
