The vertices of a triangle are A(7, 5), B(4, 2), and C(9, 2)

First we need to find the length of each side of the triangle using Distance formula, d = \sqrt{(x1 - x2)^2 + (y1 - y2)^2}

Length of side AB, c= \sqrt{(7-4)^2 + (5-2)^2}

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

= \sqrt{9+9}

= \sqrt{18}

Length of side BC, a= \sqrt{(4-9)^2 +(2-2)^2}

= \sqrt{(-5)^2 + 0}

= \sqrt{25}

= 5

Length of the side AC, b = \sqrt{(7-9)^2 +(5-2)^2}

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

= \sqrt{4+ 9} = \sqrt{13}

Cos B = \frac{a^2 + c^2 -b^2}{2ac}

Cos B = \frac{(5)^2 + (\sqrt{18})^2 - (\sqrt{13})^2}{2*5*\sqrt{18}}

Cos B = \frac{25+18-13}{10\sqrt{18}}

Cos B= \frac{30}{10\sqrt{18}}

Cos B = \frac{3}{\sqrt{18}}  = \frac{3}{3\sqrt{2}}  = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

By taking Inverse Cosine function,

B= Cos⁻¹ (\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})

B= 45°

The measure of angle ABC is 45°

algol [13]
Given the area, to rewrite the function using distributive property we get:
6(2x+5y)
using distributive property we open the parenthesis, this will give us:
6×2x+6×5y
simplifying the above we get
=12x+30y

Answer: 12x+30y
