Answer:

≈ 83.9 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

P = a+b+c = 44 cm
a = 18 cm
b = 12 cm

Then:

c= P -(a+b) = 44 -(18+12) = 14 cm

Area of the triangle is found by using Herons formula:

A = √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c),

where s = P/2 = 44/2 = 22 cm

A = √22(22-18)(22-12)(22-14) = √22*4*10*8= √7040 ≈ 83.9 cm²

Answer:

$\huge \boxed{\mathrm{83.9 \ cm^2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Two sides of the triangle are given.

The perimeter is given.

We need to solve for the third side.

$P=a+b+c$

$P= \sf perimeter$

$a,b,c= \sf side \ lengths$

$44=18+12+c$

$c=14$

The measure of the third side is 14 cm.

When three sides of the triangle are given, we can solve for the area using Heron’s formula.

$A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$

$s=\sf semi \ perimeter$

$\displaystyle s=\frac{P}{2} =\frac{44}{2} =22$

Plugging in the values and evaluating.

$A=\sqrt{22(22-18)(22-12)(22-14)}$

$A = 83.904708...$

The area of the triangle is approximately 83.9 cm².

The linear inequality y<-2/3x+2 is graphed. Determine a solution for the inequality. A) (0,2) B) (3,0) C) (0,0) D) (0,3)

jenyasd209 [6]

Hello!

The graph y < -2/3x + 2 has a dotted line. That means that any points on the dotted line or not shaded, is not a solution to this inequality. Since we are given 4 choices, we can substitute those values into the given inequality to see if it is true.

A) (0, 2)

2 < -2/3(0) + 2

2 < 2, this is false.

B) (3, 0)

0 < -2/3(3) + 2

0 < -2 + 2

0 < 0, this is false.

C) (0, 0)

0 < -2/3(0) + 2

0 < 2, this is true.

D). (0, 3)

3 < -2/3(0) + 2

3 < 2, this is false.

To check if choice C) (0, 0) is true, we should look at the given graph.

Since (0, 0) is in the shaded area, and is not graphed on the dotted line, therefore, a solution to this linear inequality is C, (0, 0).

Answer:

The direct consequences of poverty are well-known — limited access to food, water, health care or education are a few examples. However, the consequences of poor living conditions on the community are seldom discussed; indeed, if members of a community suffer from poor living conditions, then the entire community suffers.

Someone please help me with this lol… have no idea what I’m doing

Sholpan [36]

Given:

$\cos \theta =\dfrac{3}{5}$

$\sin \theta$

To find:

The quadrant of the terminal side of $\theta$ and find the value of $\sin\theta$ .

Solution:

We know that,

In Quadrant I, all trigonometric ratios are positive.

In Quadrant II: Only sin and cosec are positive.

In Quadrant III: Only tan and cot are positive.

In Quadrant IV: Only cos and sec are positive.

It is given that,

$\cos \theta =\dfrac{3}{5}$

$\sin \theta$

Here cos is positive and sine is negative. So, $\theta$ must be lies in Quadrant IV.

We know that,

$\sin^2\theta +\cos^2\theta =1$

$\sin^2\theta=1-\cos^2\theta$

$\sin \theta=\pm \sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}$

It is only negative because $\theta$ lies in Quadrant IV. So,

$\sin \theta=-\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}$

After substituting $\cos \theta =\dfrac{3}{5}$ , we get

$\sin \theta=-\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{3}{5})^2}$

$\sin \theta=-\sqrt{1-\dfrac{9}{25}}$

$\sin \theta=-\sqrt{\dfrac{25-9}{25}}$

$\sin \theta=-\sqrt{\dfrac{16}{25}}$

$\sin \theta=-\dfrac{4}{5}$

Therefore, the correct option is B.

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to -x+3y=6 and passes through the point (3,5)?

Elena-2011 [213]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

By definition, if two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal.

We have the following line:

$-x + 3y = 6\\3y = x + 6\\y = \frac {1} {3} x + \frac {6} {3}\\y = \frac {1} {3} x + 2$

Thus, the slope is: $m_ {1} = \frac {1} {3}$

Then $m_ {2} = \frac {1} {3}$

So, the line is of the form:

$y = \frac {1} {3} x + b$

We substitute the point $(x, y) :( 3,5)$ and find b:

$5 = \frac {1} {3} (3) + b\\5 = b$

Thus, the equation is:

$y = \frac {1} {3} x + 5$

Answer:

$y = \frac {1} {3} x + 5$
