Answer:

  • you graph the co-ordinates given the vertices of all the co-ordinates on the x- axis and y- axis .
  • use the co-ordinates to find the length of each side.
  • you can count the boxes in the graph to give the length of each side
  • or look at the coordinates with the same x and y values and subtract to get the length.
  • find the area of the polygon based on the shape if its is a square or rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Well,

The first thing you should do is to graph the coordinates.  Once you have graphed the coordinates, you should find the length of each side by using the distance formula given here:

D= \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

You would then proceed to use standard geometry to find the area of the polygon.

Two cars traveling toward each other are 250 miles apart. Car a is traveling 15 miles per hour faster than car
Anon25 [30]

Let car  b be travelling at x  mph.  as they are travelling towards each other their speed of approach is (x + x + 15 ) mph.  So we have the equation

speed = distance / time

2x + 15 =  250 / 2

2x = 125 - 15 = 110

x = 55 mph

Car b travels at 55 mph and car a travels at 70 mph  Answer

While on a business trip to Brookfield, Haley treated her co-workers to a meal that cost $50. Haley knew that when the bill came
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

$66

Step-by-step explanation:

The meal cost $50 without taxes.

The cost of tax:

$50*%14= $7

so she will pay a $7 tax

Also, she wants to tip %18 of the original $50 so:

$50*%18= $9

so she will tip $9

$50 + $7 + $9 = $66

Diagram below shows the curve of a quadratic function
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

q = -8, k = 2.

r = -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x - p)^2 + q

This is the vertex form of a quadratic where the vertex is at the point (p, q).

Now the x intercepts are at -6 and 2 and the curve is symmetrical about the line x = p.

The value of p is the midpoint of  -6 and 2 which is (-6+2) / 2 = -2.

So we have:

f(x) = 1/2(x - -2)^2 + q

f(x) = 1/2(x + 2)^2 + q

Now the graph passes through the point (2, 0) , where it intersects the x axis, therefore, substituting x = 2 and f(x) = 0:

0 = 1/2(2 + 2)^2 + q

0 = 1/2*16 + q

0 = 8 + q

q = -8.

Now convert this to standard form to find k:

f(x) = 1/2(x + 2)^2 - 8

f(x) = 1/2(x^2 + 4x + 4) - 8

f(x) = 1/2x^2 + 2x + 2 - 8

f(x) = 1/2x^2 + 2x - 6

So k = 2.

The  r  is the y coordinate when x = 0.

so r = 1/2(0+2)^2 - 8

=  -6.
