\Delta ABC\sim\Delta DAC\\\\then\\\\\frac{|AC|}{|BC|}=\frac{|CD|}{|AC|}\\\\|AC|^2=|BC|\cdot|CD|\\\\|AC|^2=4\cdot27\\\\|AC|=\sqrt{4\cdot27}\\\\|AC|=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{27}\\\\|AC|=2\cdot\sqrt{9\cdot3}\\\\|AC|=2\sqrt9\cdot\sqrt3\\\\|AC|=2\cdot3\sqrt3\\\\|AC|=6\sqrt3

Help please!!! I really don’t know how to do this!
AysviL [449]

Answer:

I'm going to do 1 as an example and using what I've taught you, you have to do the rest. Hope my explanation helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the points (-2, -4) and (-1, -1)

We need to find the slope.

The equation to do so is y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

lest say:

-2 is x1

-4 is y1

-1 is x2

-1 is y2

-1 - (-4) / -1 - (-2)

3/1 = 3

slope (m) = 3

We already know the y-intercept is 2

The equation of a line is y = mx + b

For this problem we just have to substitute what we already know.

y = (slope)x + y-intercept

y = 3x + 2

*TIP*

If the y-intercept is negative, let's say: b = -5  (using slope 8)

the equation will be y = 8x - 5

Hope this helps. I wish you all the best. :)

Find an expression for the area enclosed by quadrilateral ABCD below.
Helga [31]
  • ∆ABD is right angled hence area:-

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{1}{2}bh

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{1}{2}(4x)(3x)

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{1}{2}(12x^2)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 6x^2

There is only one option containing 6x^2 i.e Option D.

Hence without calculating further

Option D is correct
