</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a triangle ABC with vertices A(2,1),B(12,2) and C(12,8)

The area of a triangle is= ![\frac{1}{2} [x_1(y_2-y_3) +x_2 (y_3- y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Bx_1%28y_2-y_3%29%20%2Bx_2%20%28y_3-%20y_1%29%2Bx_3%28y_1-y_2%29%5D)
=![|\frac{1}{2} [2(2-8+12(8-1)+12(1-2)]|](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%7C%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5B2%282-8%2B12%288-1%29%2B12%281-2%29%5D%7C)
=
= 54 square units
The length of AC = 
= 
=
units
Let the perpendicular distance from B to AC be = x
According To Problem

⇔
units
Therefore the perpendicular distance from B to AC is = 
We are given

We can write it as

we can see that 2y is in first two terms
and -8 is in last two terms
so, we can factor it out

now, we can see that x+4 is common in both terms
so, we can factor it out

we can see that
x+4 is one of factor of terms
so, option-B..........Answer
Answer:
The bill total is $27.32
Step-by-step explanation:
how to figure out tax amount: 25.30 x .08 = $2.024
add tax to cost of meal : 25.30 + 2.024 = $27.32
