Lapatulllka [165]

<h2>The area of a triangle is =54 square units</h2><h2>The perpendicular distance from B to AC is = $\frac{108}{\sqrt{149} } units$ </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a triangle ABC with vertices A(2,1),B(12,2) and C(12,8)

$x_1=2,y_1=1,x_2=12,y_2=2,x_3=12 and y_3=8$

The area of a triangle is= $\frac{1}{2} [x_1(y_2-y_3) +x_2 (y_3- y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2)]$

= $|\frac{1}{2} [2(2-8+12(8-1)+12(1-2)]|$

= $|-54|$ = 54 square units

The length of AC = $\sqrt{(x_1-x_3)^{2} +(y_1-y_3)^2}$

= $\sqrt{(2-12)^{2} +(1-8)^2}$

= $\sqrt{149}$ units

Let the perpendicular distance from B to AC be = x

According To Problem

$\frac{1}{2} \times x \times \sqrt{149} = 54$

⇔ $x =\frac{108}{\sqrt{149} }$ units

Therefore the perpendicular distance from B to AC is = $\frac{108}{\sqrt{149} } units$

Find an equation of the tangent line to the curve 2(x2+y2)2=25(x2−y2) (a lemniscate) at the point (−3,1). An equation of the tan

valina [46]

$2(x^2+y^2)^2=25(x^2-y^2)$

Let $y=y(x)$ , so that differentiating both sides wrt $x$ gives

$4(x^2+y^2)\left(2x+2y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)=25\left(2x-2y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)$

If $x=-3$ and $y=1$ , the above reduces to

$40\left(-6+2\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)=25\left(-6-2\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\right)\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac9{13}$

This is the slope of the tangent line, which has equation

$y-1=\dfrac9{13}(x+3)\implies\boxed{y=\dfrac{9x+40}{13}}$

The interior angles formed by the sides of a pentagon have measures that sum to 540°. What is the measure of angle B?

patriot [66]

Answer:

m∠B = 110°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

The sum of the measures of the angles in a pentagon is 540°.

So, we get,

130 + (x-5) + (x+30) + 75 + (x-35) = 540

i.e. 3x + (130+30+75) - (5+35) = 540

i.e. 3x + 235 - 40 = 540

i.e. 3x + 195 = 540

i.e. 3x = 540 - 195

i.e. 3x = 345

i.e. x= 115°

Now, as m∠B = (x-5)° = (115-5)° = 110°

Hence, the measure of angle B is 110°.
