Cos
θ
=
√
5
3

or it could be cos
θ
=
√
5
−
3

Explanation:
Since sin
θ
is negative, it can be in the third or fourth quadrant
Drawing your right-angled triangle, place your
θ
in one of three corners. Your longest side will be 3 and the side opposite the
θ
will be -2. Finally, using Pythagoras theorem, your last side should be
√
5

Now, if your triangle was in the third quadrant, you would have
cos
θ
=
√
5
−
3
since cosine is negative in the third quadrant
But if your triangle was in the fourth quadrant, you would have
cos
θ
=
√
5
3
since cosine is positive in the fourth quadrant

Answer:

For question 3, you would just add 2 to the x values and subtract 2 from the y values, so it would be:

J' (-2, 5)

K' (2, 6)

L' (1, 2)

M' (-3, 1)

For question 4 you would subtract 7 from the x values and 6 from the y values, and that would be:

W' (-6, 1)

X' (-1, -1)

Y' (-3, -6)

Z' (-8, -4)

For question 9 you would end up with:

X' (6, -5)

Y' (7, 1)

Z' (4, 0)

For question 10 you would end up with:

Q' (-1, 2)

R' (1, 7)

S' (-2, 6)

T' (-4, 1)

For question 11 you would end up with:

L' (4, 1)

M' (8, 5)

N' (6, 7)

P' (2, 3)

For question 12 you would end up with:

G' (6, -7)

H' (6, -4)

I' (1, -7)

What is the area of a triangle with vertices (1,0) (5,0) (3,4)

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The area of the triangle is of 8 units of area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The area of the triangle is of 21 units of area.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle with three vertices $(x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2),(x_3,y_3)$ is given by the determinant of the following matrix:

$A = \pm 0.5 \left|\begin{array}{ccc}x_1&y_1&1\\x_2&y_2&1\\1_3&y_3&1\end{array}\right|$

In this question:

Vertices (1,0) (5,0) (3,4). So

$A = \pm 0.5 \left|\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&1\\5&0&1\\3&4&1\end{array}\right|$

$A = \pm 0.5(1*0*1+0*1*3+1*5*4-1*0*3-0*5*1-1*1*4)$

$A = \pm 0.5*(20-4)$

$A = \pm 0.5*16 = 8$

The area of the triangle is of 8 units of area.
