Anit [1.1K]

Let

$A(0,0)\\ B (2.8, 2.1)\\C(4.3, 4.4)$

using a graph tool

see the attached figure

The figure is a triangle

we know that

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

Hero's Formula is equal to

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

where

p is is half the perimeter of the triangle

a,b,c are the lengths of the sides of a triangle

so

Step $1$

Find the length sides of the triangle

a) Find the distance AB

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

Substitute

$d =\sqrt{(2.1-0)^{2} +(2.8-0)^{2}}$

$d =3.5\ mi}$

b) Find the distance AC

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

Substitute

$d =\sqrt{(4.4-0)^{2} +(4.3-0)^{2}}$

$d =6.15\ mi}$

c) Find the distance BC

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

Substitute

$d =\sqrt{(4.4-2.1)^{2} +(4.3-2.8)^{2}}$

$d =2.75\ mi}$

Step $2$

Find the perimeter of the triangle

$Perimeter= 3.5+6.15+2.75 =12.4\ mi$

Find the half of the perimeter

$p=\frac{12.4}{2} = 6.2\ mi$

Step $3$

Find the area of the triangle

$Area=\sqrt{6.2*(6.2-3.5)*(6.2-6.15)*(6.2-2.75)}$

$Area=\sqrt{6.2*(2.7)*(0.05)*(3.45)}$

$Area= 1.69\ mi^{2}$

therefore

the answer is the option

a) 1.65 mi^2.

sesenic [268]

Answer:

Approximately 22.97 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation for continuously compounded interest, which uses the exponential base "e":

$A=P e^{k*t}$

Where P is the principal (initial amount of the deposit - unknown in our case)

A is the accrued value (value accumulated after interest is compounded), in our case it is not a given value but we know that it triples the original deposit (principal) so we write it as: 3 P (three times the principal)

k is the interest rate : 5% which translates into 0.05

and t is the time in the savings account to triple its value (what we need to find)

The formula becomes:

$3P = P e^{0.05 * t}$

To solve for "t" we divide both sides of the equation by P (notice it cancels P everywhere), and then to solve for the exponent "t" we use the natural logarithm function:

$\frac{3P}{P} = \frac{P}{P} e^{0.05 * t}$

$3 = e^{0.05 * t}$

$ln(3) = 0.05 * t$

$t = \frac{ln(3)}{0.05} = 21.972245... years$

The point P(x,y) lies on the terminal side of an angle θ = -60° in standard posistion. What are the signs of the values of x and

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

x positive, y negative

Step-by-step explanation:

-60 is the 4th quadrant of the unit circle ( negative angles go clockwise from 0), so the x value is positive and the y value is negative.

Alja [10]

Answer:

Rational

Integer

Whole

Real

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational: 

The square root of 4 is 2, which is an integer (number without decimals). A number is only irrational if it has endless decimals after it.

Integer:

A number without decimals

Whole:

A number without fractions; an integer.

Real: 

Real numbers include whole numbers, rational numbers and irrational numbers- pretty much any number you can think of. The only numbers that ARENT considered real are imaginary numbers like √-1 and infinity.
