Answer:
<em>The area of the triangle DEF is 10.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Area of a Triangle:</u>
A triangle of base B and height H (both must be perpendicular) has an area of:
The image below shows the triangle formed by the points DEF. It's important to notice the points E and F lie on the same horizontal line because they both have the same y-coordinate.
This fact simplifies the calculations since we can easily compute the length the of base as the difference of their x-coordinates:
B=3-(-2)=3+2=5
Being the base of a horizontal line, the height of the triangle can be calculated as the difference of y-coordinates of D and the height of that line.
H=2-(-2)=4
With these two values, we calculate the area:
The area of the triangle DEF is 10.
Answer:
12√5
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the attached sketch, there are 2 triangles which we need to focus on, triangle A (in yellow) and triangle B (In red).
If you look at triangle A, we notice that X is the hypotenuse of triangle A. This means that X must be the largest length in triangle A, hence we can say that x must be greater than 24 (or 24 < x)
Now look at triangle B, in this case, they hypotenuse is 30 and x is the length of one of the sides. This means that x must be shorter than the hypotenuse (i.e x < 30)
from the 2 paragraphs above, we can see now that we can assemble an inequality in x
24 < x < 30
If we look at the choices, we can immediately ignore 33 because x must be less than 30,
working out the choices, we find that the only choice which falls into the range 24<x<30 is the 2nd choice 12√5 (= 26.83) (which is the answer)
The last 2 choices give values smaller than 24 and are hence cannot be the answer
