Answer:

The base = 4 units and the height = 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets remember the rule of the distance between 2 points

- The two points are (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2)

∴ The distance = √[(x2 - x1)²+(y2 - y1)²]

* The vertices of the triangles are (-3 , 4) , (1 , 4) , (1 , 1)

- If two points have the same y-coordinate

∴ The line joining the to point is horizontal

∴ Its length = x2 - x1

- Because √[(x2 - x1)²+(y2 - y1)²] and y2 = y1

∴ d = √(x2 - x1)² ⇒ cancel power 2 with the radical sign

∴ d = x2 - x1

* Similar you can find the vertical distance

- If two points have the same x-coordinate

∴ The line joining the to point is vertical

- Its length = y2 - y1

∵ The points (-3 , 4) , (1 , 4) have same y-coordinate

∴ This side of the triangle is horizontal

∴ Its length = 1 - -3 = 4

∵ The points (1 , 4) , (1 , 1) have same x-coordinate

∴ This side of the triangle is vertical line

∴ Its length = 4 - 1 = 3

* The two sides of the triangle are ⊥

∴ One of them is the base of the triangle and the other is the height

* The base = 4 units and the height = 3 units

If a =7 , find the area of it . <br><br> Please give me the answer I have a exam at 12.00
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

60cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length x breath

Let,

length (L) = (a-1) cm

breadth (B) = (a+3) cm

Putting the value of a = 7;

we get,

length= 7-1 = 6 cm

breadth= 7+3 = 10 cm

Therefore, area of the rectangle = L x B

= 6 x 10

= 60 cm²

The ratio of Victors money to Susies money is 4:7 at first. After Victor spent half of his money and Susie spent $60, Susie had
valkas [14]

Answer:

Victor originally had $80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Victor have $4x

Let Susie have $7x

Since Victor spent half his money, he now has $2x

Susie spent $60 and thus now has $(7x - 60)

The final ratio of Victor's money to Susie's money is therefore  2x : $(7x - 60). This is given 1:2. Now we just need to solve the proportion by cross-multiplying

2x : (7x - 60) = 1:2

1 × (7x - 60) = 2 × 2x

7x - 60 = 4x

3x = 60

x = 20

Therefore Victor originally had $4x = $80.
