Answer:the percentage decrease is 36.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial amount of sugar in his diet is 15 spoons in a day. Currently, the amount of sugar in his diet is 9 1/2 spoons in a day. Converting to decimal, it becomes 9.5 spoon in a day. The amount by which he reduced his sugar intake is 15 - 9.5 = 5.5 spoons.

Percentage decrease would be expressed as

Amount by which the intake decreased/ initial intake × 100

It becomes

5.5/15 × 100 = 36.67%

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(-2,1), B(-2,-3), and C(1,-2). What is the area of the triangle? a 18 square units b 9 square unit

natka813 [3]

Answer:

Option C. 6 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Heron's Formula is a method for calculating the area of a triangle when you know the lengths of all three sides.

Let

a,b,c be the lengths of the sides of a triangle.

The area is given by:

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

where

p is half the perimeter

p= $\frac{a+b+c}{2}$

we have

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(-2,1), B(-2,-3), and C(1,-2)

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

step 1

Find the distance AB

$d=\sqrt{(-3-1)^{2}+(-2+2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-4)^{2}+(0)^{2}}$

$dAB=4\ units$

step 2

Find the distance BC

$d=\sqrt{(-2+3)^{2}+(1+2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(1)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$

$dBC=\sqrt{10}\ units$

step 3

Find the distance AC

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

$d=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$

$dBC=\sqrt{18}\ units$

step 4

$a=AB=4\ units$

$b=BC=\sqrt{10}\ units$

$c=AC=\sqrt{18}\ units$

Find the half perimeter p

p= $\frac{4+\sqrt{10}+\sqrt{18}}{2}=5.70\ units$

Find the area

$A=\sqrt{5.7(5.7-4)(5.7-3.16)(5.7-4.24)}$

$A=\sqrt{5.7(1.7)(2.54)(1.46)}$

$A=\sqrt{35.93}$

$A=6\ units^{2}$

maw [93]

Answer:

Surface Area = 165.06 inches 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5.1 in.

3 in.

8.3 in.

Surface Area = 2×(5.1×3 + 5.1×8.3 + 3×8.3)

= 165.06 inches 2

Ajay reads aloud from a sports magazine. He comes across the measurement 0.63 kilometer. How should he read this measurement alo

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

"sixty-three hundredths of a Kilometer"

Step-by-step explanation:

Decimal measurements are read based on the place of their digits. In this case, Ajay would read this measurement as "sixty-three hundredths of a Kilometer". This is because the final digit of the decimal form measurement is in the "hundredths" position. One more to the right and it would be in the "thousandths" while one more to the left would be the "tenths"
