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

does anyone know how to help me with the letters in math, i dont understand it, and i need help, someone please? if you can can
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Letters are variables and those variable can store a number

Ex: x=5  y=2

evaluate : 3x+2y

we know that x is 5, so we know that 3x would be 15

we know that y is 2, so we know that 2x would be 4

then it says to add 3x and 2y, we would add 15 and 4 to get 19

(This is a very simple example, when you get older, the expression would be much more confusing.

Answer: -4.96x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, it wants you to multiply the -0.4 by the numbers in the parentheses. Don’t let the X confuse you. This is just a placeholder for an unknown number. So first you would multiply the -0.4 into the 10.2, And once you get your answer, just add the X to the end. Which is -4.08x. Then, you would do the same thing, multiply the -0.4 (the number outside of the parenthesis, only with the -15 now. Which gets you 6. Lastly, you take the -0.4 once more and multiply it by the 2.2x. Which gets you -0.88.


-0.4 (10.2x-15+2.2x)

= - 4.08x +6 -0.88x

Now that you have this problem, combined like terms. What are the like terms in this problem?

The -4.08x can be combined with the -0.88 which gets you -4.96. Bring the +6 down, and that gets you your answer of -4.96 +6.


-4.08x -0.88x +6

= -4.96x +6


This would be your final answer because nothing further can be done at this point.


hope this helps!
