Answer:
Height, base(4,1) to A(4,3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The height that is shown is incorrect as it is showing the distance between A and B, which is not the height of the triangle, and simply a side. We need to find the altitude(height) which is a line perpendicular to the base. If we draw a line that is perpendicular to the base that intersects the highest point of the triangle, A, we get the point of intersection of that line and the base at (4,1)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) +17 -9 = +8 . . . a profit of $8
b) +9 -5 = +4 . . . a rise of 4 cm
c) -6 -4 = -10 . . . a drop of 10 °C
_____
Each integer has a sign chosen with respect to some reference direction. We usually choose a rise or increase or profit to be the positive direction, so a drop or decrease or loss is then represented by a negative number.
