Answer:

$p=\frac{8}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{4} = \frac{4}{p} - 3$

$\frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{p} - 3$ (simplify)

$\frac{1}{2}+3 = \frac{4}{p} - 3+3$

$\frac{1}{2}+3 = \frac{4}{p}$ (Add 3 to both sides)

$\frac{7}{2}= \frac{4}{p}$ (simplify)

$\frac{7}{2}p= \frac{4}{p}*p$

$\frac{7p}{2}=4$ (Multiply both sides by p)

$\frac{7p}{2}*2=4*2$

$7p=8$ (Multiply both sides by 2)

$\frac{7p}{7}=\frac{8}{7}$

$p=\frac{8}{7}$ (Divide both sides by 7)

What is the area of triangle pqr on the grid? a triangle pqr is shown on a grid. the vertex p is on ordered pair 7 and 6, vertex

horsena [70]

P(7,6), Q(1,6), R(4,2)

We have PQ parallel to the x axis. We'll call that the base,

b = 7 - 1 = 6

The altitude is then the y difference h = 6 - 2 = 4

The area is $\frac 1 2 bh = \frac 1 2 (6)(4) = 12$

Answer: 12 square units

In general we can use the shoelace formula for the area of any polygon given coordinates. We write the points like this:

(7,6), (1,6), (4,2)

(1,6), (4,2), (7,6)

The area is then half the absolute value of the sum of the cross products:

$A = \frac 1 2 | 7(6)-6(1) + 1(2)-6(4) + 4(6)-2(7) | = \frac 1 2 |24| = 12$
