Answer:

-12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To easily get the area of the parallelogram, we will label the vertices .

A= 1, -2.... X1, y1

B= 5,8... X2, y2

C= 3,3.... X3, y3

D= 0,8.... X4, y4

Before that, let me state that:

The Area of a parallelogram is defined as :

1/2 det (X1 (y2 - y3) + X2 ( y3 - y1) + X3 (y1 - y2)

In the order from the question:

A = (-2(8-3) + 5(3-3) + 3( 3-8)) / 2

A = -2(5) + 5(0) + 3(-5)

A = -10 + 0 - 15 / 2

A = -25/2

A = -12.5

Rolando is 17. In four years, his age will be 3/2 the age of his sister Marisa. How old will Marisa be in three years

Bess [88]

To find the answer, we can first find the age of Rolando in four year:

17+4
=21

We can then proceed to find the current age of Marisa,which is 3/2 of Rolando’s age calculated above:

Let Marisa’s age be y.

3/2 y =21
y = 21 × 2/3
y = 42/3
y = 14

Therefore Marisa is currently 14 years old.

In three years, Marisa would be:

14+3
=17

Therefore, she will be 17 years old.

Hope it helps!
