Perimeter = 16.4 units

Using the heron's formula, Area ≈ 10.4 units².

<h3>What is the Heron's Formula?</h3>

The heron's formula is used to find the area of a triangle with known side lengths of all its three sides, a, b, and c. The heron's formula is given as: Area = √[s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)], where s = half the perimeter of the triangle

s = (a + b + c)/2.

Given the following:

K (-4,-1) ,

L(-2, 2),

M (3,-1)

Use the distance formula, d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}, to find KL, LM, and KM.

KL = √[(−2−(−4))² + (2−(−1))²]

KL = √13 ≈ 3.6 units

LM = √[(−2−3)² + (2−(−1))²]

LM = √34 = 5.8 units

KM = √[(−4−3)² + (−1−(−1))²]

KM = √49 = 7 units

Perimeter = 3.6 + 5.8 + 7 = 16.4 units

Semi-perimeter (s) = 1/2(16.4) = 8.2 units

KL = a ≈ 3.6 units

LM = b = 5.8 units

KM = c = 7 units

s = 8.2

Plug in the values into √[s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)]

Area = √[8.2(8.2 - 3.6)(8.2 - 5.8)(8.2 - 7)]

Area = √[8.2(4.6)(2.4)(1.2)]

Area = √108.6336

Area ≈ 10.4 units²

A bag contains 2 white marbles and 7 purple marbles. Two marbles are drawn at random. One marble is drawn and not replaced. Then
Masja [62]
A.
\frac{7purple}{9total} *  \frac{2white}{8total}  \\  \frac{14}{72}  \\ =0.194
The denominator of the second number goes down one because you aren't replacing the initial marble pulled, making the amount of marbles in the bag go down, but not affecting the white count because you pulled a purple marble.
b.
\frac{2white}{9total} *  \frac{1white}{8total}  \\  \frac{2}{72}  \\ =0.278
The same can be said about the denominator for this problem, but not the numerator. The numerator must go down one number as well, because you already chose one white marble, taking one of the white marbles out of the bag, leaving you with one solitary, white marble.
c.
Chance of selecting two purple marbles:
<u />\frac{7purple}{9total} *  \frac{6purple}{8total}  \\  \frac{42}{72}  \\ =0.583
Chance of selecting two white marbles:
\frac{2white}{9total} * \frac{1white}{8total} \\ \frac{2}{72} \\ =0.278
<u>Chance of selecting two purple</u> vs. <em>Chance of Selecting 2 white:</em>
<u>0.583</u>><em>0.278</em>.
It is more likely to select 2 purple marbles.

Hope this helps!

mamaluj [8]
Glad you asked this question! Over the years of working with my professor we learned that if phs= 5 (constant) times the j to the power of 2 you will get the formula or polynomialic equation. It quite fascinating and due to using his equation the answer in fact is "c". Cheers
