What is the area of the triangle
1 answer:
Answer:
- <u>3 unit²</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
The figure attached shows the three points, Q(-2,5), R(4,5), and S(-5,4), in a coordinate plane.
The points Q and R have the same y-coordinate, then if you set them as the base of the triangle, the height from S to Q is the altitude:
- Base: 4unit - (-2unit) = 4unit + 2unit = 6 units
- Altitude: 5unit - 4unit = 1 unit
Area of a triangle = base × altitude / 2
- Area of the triangle QRS: 6unit × 1unit / 2 = 3 unit²
That answer does not match either answer choice. But it is the area of a triangle with the given vertices Q,R,S.
If your vertices are others, you can just follow the same procedure: find the base and the altitude and use the formula for the area used above.

Answer:
<h2>Flag burning is an act of violence</h2>Explanation:
<em>Flag burning is likely to cause violence because it is an act of violence. Let me tell you in a way where you will understand, I do not know if you are talking about the American flag or every flag ever made, but, if you burned the American flag, people might take it as a threat, or just ignore it. Apparently, burning the American flag is legal, this is because in the year 1989, the Supreme Court declared that they couldn't stop people from burning these flags. They also declared that the federal / state laws that protect the flag are in violation of free-speech protections. I think it should be illegal because if people keep doing it, they will just keep doing it! They won't stop and will never stop. It also means that they are disrespecting our country, which I respect, but I do not respect the way that the people act when they burned it. I watched this video and people were cursing, acting like they own the world, and hurting other people with the fire on the flag. I wish the Supreme Court would stand up to this, I understand that the people will always protest, and that it's very hard to get the people to listen, but please, if you can try to, bring this back up and try again.</em>
I got some of these answers from TIME, you can check it out if you want to, and I wrote most of this myself. I also wrote the "Flag burning is an act of violence" so I wouldn't take anyone elses idea.
<em>Hope this helps! <3</em>
