Answer:
Find the area of each triangle and then add it up. As you are aware, to find the area of a triangle the equation is B times Height divided by 2. And to make it easier do the top left triangle and the top right triangle, add them together and then divide that by 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
3 time 5 equals 15 divided by 2 equals 7.5
5 times 8 equals 40 divided by 2 equals 20
7.5 plus 20 equals 27.5
27.5 times 2 equals 55
therefor your answer should be 55m
A point that bisects a segment would be its midpoint. This is a case where the vocabulary (bisect as opposed to midpoint) makes it harder.
To find the midpoint, we use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula is:
midpoint = (x₁ + x₂/2, y₁ + y/2). To find it, you add the x coordinates and then divide them by 2. Repeat for the y coordinates.
x: (-2 + 6)/2 = 4/2 = 2
y: (5 +1)/2 = 6/2 = 3
Thus the point B bisecting AC is at (2, 3).
