<h3>Answer: 24.5 </h3>
============================================================
Explanation:
It might help to draw it out. See the diagram below.
The base is JK which is 7 units long. I'm picking this as the base because this segment is completely horizontal.
Notice how the base JK spans from x = -3 to x = 4, which we can use subtraction and absolute value to get |J-K| = |-3-4| = 7.
The height is always perpendicular to the base. If the base is JK = 7, then the height is the vertical distance from K (or J) to L. This vertical distance is also 7 units. Subtract the y coordinates and apply absolute value. The base and height aren't always the same number.
Now we can find the area of the triangle
area = base*height/2
area = 7*7/2
area = 49/2
area = 24.5 square units
Given parameters:
Length of earring hook = 1.5cm
Length of given wire = 45cm
Dimension of the triangle = 3.2cm, 3.2cm and 2.1cm
Unknown:
Number of earrings that can be made from the wire = ?
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the total length of the earring we want to make.
Total earring length = Perimeter of earring + length of earring hook
= 3.2 + 3.2 + 2.1 + 1.5
= 10cm
Now the length of the wire is 45cm,
Number of earrings = = 4.5 earrings
But this is not reasonable, therefore, we can only forge 4 complete earrings from the given length with 5cm of wire remaining.
The number of earrings that can be made is 4.
