Answer:

(√6)/2 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is half the magnitude of the cross product of the vectors representing adjacent sides.

QR = (4-3, -1-(-4), -4-(-5)) = (1, 3, 1)

QS = (3 -3, -5-(-4), -6-(-5)) = (0, -1, -1)

The cross product is the determinant ...

$\text{det}\left|\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\1&3&1\\0&-1&-1\end{array}\right|=-2i+j-k$

The magnitude of this is ...

|QR × QS| = √((-2)² +1² +(-1)²) = √6

The area of the triangle is half this value:

Area = (1/2)√6 . . . . square units

R = 850 cm, s = 250 cm and t=940 cm. Find the measure of ZS tothe nearest 10th of a degree

faust18 [17]

To find the measure of the s angle que are going use the cosine law because we know all the sides of the triangule:

s² = r² + t² - 2*r*t * cos(S)

Then solve the equation

s² -r² - t² = -2*r*t * cos(S)

arccos ((s² -r² - t² /-2*r*t)) = S

arccos (((250)² -(850 cm)²-(940 cm)² /(-2* 850 cm*940 cm) = S

14.9 = S

round to the nearest 10th of a degree

15º = S

Solve. (K+1)(k-5)=0<br> Explin how to solve ???

Anna71 [15]

Alright remember, if any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to 0, the entire expression will be equal to 0.
k+1=0
k-5=0
Set the first factor equal to 0 and solve
k=-1
Set the next factor equal to 0 and solve
k=5
The final solution is all the values that make (k+1)(k-5)=0 true.
k=-1, 5

Hope this helped you out :)
