Calculate the perimeter and area of the triangle formed by the coordinates K (-4,-1) ,L(-2, 2), and M (3,-1).
1 answer:
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 = , 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.
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.
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 />
Chance of selecting two white marbles:
<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.
