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

The product of two consecutive negative even integers is 24. Find the largest integer.
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

ok negative times negative = positive

and factors of 24 are

1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24

4 x 6 are the two consecutive EVEN numbers

so turn it to negative

-4 x -6 = 24

The largest is -4
