Find the area of the triangle with vertices: q(3,-4,-5), r(4,-1,-4), s(3,-5,-6).

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

2x-4y=20 what is the value of y
ra1l [238]

Answer: 20-2x/-4

Step-by-step explanation:

To actually solve for y as a number, you need two equations.

For this case move the 2x to the other side, making the equation -4y=20-2x.

Then divide by -4 on each side making the equation y=20-2x/-4.

Abigail was skateboarding home when the wheel axle of her skateboard broke. She had already traveled two thirds of the way home
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Abigail was four times faster in the skateboard than when she is walking

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total distance to travel be d

distance traveled on skateboard = 2/3 * d = 2d/3

distance walked = 1/3 * d = d/3

So let the time taken to skate be t, then time taken to walk home will be 2t since it is 2 times longer.

Now, the speed on both trips is distance/time

For the snowboard trip, speed is 2d/3/t = 2d/3t

For the walking trip, distance would be;

d/3/2t = d/6t

So let’s compare these two speeds.

Obviously the speed on the skateboard is greater than that walking.

So we can equally divide the speed on the skateboard by that while walking to know how many times faster it is.

Thus, mathematically we have

2d/3t divided by d/6t

So that would be;

2d/3t * 6t/d = 4

So this means she was four times faster on the skateboard
