Answer:

<em>The area of the triangle DEF is 10.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Area of a Triangle:</u>

A triangle of base B and height H (both must be perpendicular) has an area of:

\displaystyle A=\frac{BH}{2}

The image below shows the triangle formed by the points DEF. It's important to notice the points E and F lie on the same horizontal line because they both have the same y-coordinate.

This fact simplifies the calculations since we can easily compute the length the of base as the difference of their x-coordinates:

B=3-(-2)=3+2=5

Being the base of a horizontal line, the height of the triangle can be calculated as the difference of y-coordinates of D and the height of that line.

H=2-(-2)=4

With these two values, we calculate the area:

\displaystyle A=\frac{5*4}{2}=10

The area of the triangle DEF is 10.

uysha [10]
3/4x=15 you flip 3/4 to 4/3 and cancel it out on one side leaving x by itself then you multiply 4/3 by 15 and you get 60/3 and that equals 20 x=20
