After plotting the quadrilateral in a Cartesian plane, you can see that it is not a particular quadrilateral. Hence, you need to divide it into two triangles. Let's take ABC and ADC.

The area of a triangle with vertices known is  given by the matrix
M = \left[\begin{array}{ccc} x_{1}&y_{1}&1\\x_{2}&y_{2}&1\\x_{3}&y_{3}&1\end{array}\right]

Area = 1/2· | det(M) |
        = 1/2· | x₁·y₂ - x₂·y₁ + x₂·y₃ - x₃·y₂ + x₃·y₁ - x₁·y₃ |
        = 1/2· | x₁·(y₂ - y₃) + x₂·(y₃ - y₁) + x₃·(y₁ - y₂) |

Therefore, the area of ABC will be:
A(ABC) = 1/2· | (-5)·(-5 - (-6)) + (-4)·(-6 - 7) + (-1)·(7 - (-5)) |
             = 1/2· | -5·(1) - 4·(-13) - 1·(12) |
             = 1/2 | 35 |
             = 35/2

Similarly, the area of ADC will be:
A(ABC) = 1/2· | (-5)·(5 - (-6)) + (4)·(-6 - 7) + (-1)·(7 - 5) |
             = 1/2· | -5·(11) + 4·(-13) - 1·(2) |
             = 1/2 | -109 |
<span>             = 109/2</span>

The total area of the quadrilateral will be the sum of the areas of the two triangles:

A(ABCD) = A(ABC) + A(ADC) 
               = 35/2 + 109/2
               = 72

How can we isolate the variable c
Vlada [557]

Well depending on the equation you look at both sides and eliminate everything from both using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Ex:

3c-4=7                                                                                                                                                    first add the 4 because you use the opposite type of operation so you add it to 7 which gives you:

3c=11                                                                                                                                          next you have to divide to get it alone

3c/3=11/3

which gives you

c=   3.66666666667

Lisa and ant share some money in the ratio 5:8 <br> what fraction does Lisa receive?
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The fraction of the money that Lisa received will be 5x/13

Step-by-step explanation:

The the amount shared by Lisa and ant be x

If Lisa and ant share the money in the ratio 5:8, to get the fraction Lisa received;

Step1:

The total ratio will give:

5+8 = 13

Since the ratio Lisa got was 5, then the fraction of money Lisa receive will be:

Lisa ratio/Total ratio × Amount shared

= 5/13 × x

= 5x/13

Therefore, the fraction of the money that Lisa received will be 5x/13
