First we need to find the length of each side of the triangle , and for that we need to use the distance formula, that is
$d =\sqrt{(x_{2} -x_{1})^2 +(y_{2} -y_{1})^2}$
$AB = \sqrt{(1-4)^2 +(-2+1)^2}= \sqrt{10}$
$\sqrt{BC} = \sqrt{(1-1)^2 + (2+2)^2}=4$
Perimeter is the sum of all sides.
$Perimeter = AB + BC + AC = \sqrt{10}+4 +\sqrt{18}$
$Perimeter= 11.4$

Find the area of the triangle belowunits given are cm, cm^2, cm^3

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

$A_T=150cm^2$

Explanation: We need to find the area of the triangle, We know that the area of any right triangle is:

$A_T=\frac{1}{2}(b\times h)$

Therefore in the information given we have the following:

$\begin{gathered} h=20\operatorname{cm} \\ b=15\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}$

Therefore the Area of this triangle is as follows:

$\begin{gathered} A_T=\frac{1}{2}(b\times h) \\ \therefore\rightarrow \\ A_T=\frac{1}{2}(20cm\times15cm)=\frac{1}{2}(20\times15)cm^2 \\ A_T=\frac{1}{2}(300)cm^2=150cm^2 \\ \therefore\rightarrow \\ A_T=150cm^2 \end{gathered}$

Note! Units are centimeter-squared

Katherine buys a tv with a normal price of $200 and she has a 25% off coupon. How much money did she save????

andrey2020 [161]

Given:

Normal price of a tv = $200

Coupon = 25% off

To find:

The money saved by Katherine.

Solution:

Katherine buys a tv with a normal price of $200 and she has a 25% off coupon. It means, the money saved by Katherine is 25% of normal price of tv, i.e., $200.

$Saving=25\%\text{ of }200$
