</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a triangle ABC with vertices A(2,1),B(12,2) and C(12,8)

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)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Bx_1%28y_2-y_3%29%20%2Bx_2%20%28y_3-%20y_1%29%2Bx_3%28y_1-y_2%29%5D)
=![|\frac{1}{2} [2(2-8+12(8-1)+12(1-2)]|](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%7C%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%5B2%282-8%2B12%288-1%29%2B12%281-2%29%5D%7C)
=
= 54 square units
The length of AC = 
= 
=
units
Let the perpendicular distance from B to AC be = x
According To Problem

⇔
units
Therefore the perpendicular distance from B to AC is = 
This is the inverse of f(x)= -3 - (-2)
1. The additive identity is 0. This is because adding 0 to anything leads to the same value. Example: 0+3 = 3.
2. An equation is where you have two expressions separated by an equal sign. In your case it would be "a mathematical sentence whose verb is 'equal' (=)"
3. The multiplicative identity is 1. Multiply 1 with any number and the result is that same number. Example: 1*7 = 7.
4. An open sentence is an equation that contains one or more variables. An example would be x+2 = 4. The reason why we call it open is because the true or false nature of the sentence is up in the air until we know what x is. If we knew that x = 3 for instance, then x+2 = 4 would be false since 3+2 = 4 is false. If we nailed down what x was then it would go from open to closed.
5. The symmetric property is that if a = b then b = a. Think of a mirror how the image reverses.
Answer:
The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the original length of the piece of metal
y ----> the original width of the piece of metal
we know that
When squares with sides 5 in long are cut from the four corners and the flaps are folded upward to form an open box
The dimensions of the box are

The volume of the box is equal to


so

simplify
-----> equation A
Remember that
The piece of metal is 25 in longer than it is wide
so
----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A

solve for y

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing
using a graphing tool
The solution is y=16
see the attached figure
Find the value of x

therefore
The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches
