The base must be perpendicular to the height for area= bh/2.

We can use RS as the base and TU as the height.
6*3/2
18/2
9

Final answer: 9 units^2

Answer:

The coordinate of triangle RST from the figure are;

R = (-3,2), S=(3,2) and T=(-1,-1). also the coordinate of U = (-1, 2).

Distance Formula: It is used to determine the distance between two points with the coordinates (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) i.e,

Distance = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}

Now, using above formula to find the sides of a given triangle:

Calculate the length of RS , where R=(-3,2) and S=(3,2);

RS=\sqrt{(3-(-3))^2+(2-2)^2} or

RS=\sqrt{(3+3)^2+(0)^2}

Simplify: we get

RS=\sqrt{36} =6 unit.

Similarly, for TU, where T=(-1.-1) and U=(-1,2).

then:

TU=\sqrt{(-1-(-1))^2+(2-(-1))^2} or

TU=\sqrt{(-1+1)^2+(2+1)^2} or

Simplify:

TU=\sqrt{0+9} =\sqrt{9} =3 unit.

Since, we have to calculate the Area of triangle RST.

To, find the area of a triangle, multiply the base by the height and then divide it by 2.

i.e,

Area of triangle = \frac{b\cdot h}{2} where b is the base and h is the height of the triangle.

Here, in the given triangle RST, the base of the triangle = RS and the height of the triangle= TU.

Area of \triangle RST = \frac{RS \cdot TU}{2}

Substitute the value of RS = 6 unit and TU= 3 unit in the above formula;

Area of \triangle RST = \frac{6\cdot3}{2}

Simplify:

Area of \triangle RST=3\cdot 3=9 square unit.

The price of a ring was decreased by 25% to £390. what was the price before the decrease?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The original price was 520

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we first need to note that we paid 75% of the price. This is because we took 25% off from the original. Now we take the price we paid and divide it by the percentage of it which we paid. This will give us the original price.

390/75% = Total

390/.75 = Total

520 = Total

andrezito [222]

Answer:

A. Kayla

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference between the two numbers we will do:

7°C - (-5°C)

Subtracting a negative number is the same as simply adding, so we can rewrite the equation as:

7°C + 5°C = 12°C
