<u>ANSWER</u>: The centroid is (1,3)


<u>Explanation:</u>

The centroid is the intersection of the medians of the triangle.

So we need to find the equation of any two of the medians and solve simultaneously.


Since the median is the straight line from one vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side, we find the midpoint of any two sides.


We find the midpoint of AC using the formula;

N=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})



N=(\frac{-3+5}{2}, \frac{1+2}{2})


N=(\frac{2}{2}, \frac{3}{2})


N=(1, \frac{3}{2})


The equation of the median passes through B(1,6) and N=(1, \frac{3}{2}).


This line is parallel to the y-axis hence has equation

x=1-------first median.



We also find the midpoint M of BC.

M=(\frac{1+5}{2}, \frac{6+2}{2})


M=(\frac{6}{2}, \frac{8}{2})


M=(3, 4)


The slope of the median, AM is


Slope_{AM}=\frac{4-1}{3--3}


Slope_{AM}=\frac{3}{6}


Slope_{AM}=\frac{1}{2}


The equation of the median AM is given by;


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)


We use the point M and the slope of AM.


y-4=\frac{1}{2}(x-3)


2y-8=(x-3)


2y-x=-3+8


2y-x=5-------Second median

We now solve the equation of the two medians simultaneously by putting x=1 in to the equation of the second median.


2y-1=5


2y=5+1


2y=6


y=3


Hence the centroid has coordinates (1,3)

Cisco wants to purchase three items at the sporting goods store. The items he wants to buy are football pants for $21.99, footba
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: \$73.43

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information provided in the exercise, the prices of each item he wants to purchase in the sporting goods store are:

Football\ pants=\$21.99\\\\ Football\ pads=\$25.95\\\\Football\ cleats=\$25.49

Therefore you need to add these prices to solve this exercise. The sum will be the total cost for these three items.

You get that the sum is:

Total\ cost=\$21.99+\$25.95+\$25.49\\\\Total\ cost=\$73.43

Then, the three items that Cisco wants to purchase will cost $73.43.

Zia has a slab of concrete in the shape of a parallelogram.
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

270 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula A = bh.

The base of the parallelogram is 9+9 = 18 inches.

The height of the parallelogram is 15 inches.

This makes the area 15(18) = 270 in²
