Before going to the answer, let's first understand what a mark up is. The mark up is the amount that the seller will add to the purchase cost to the retail cost so that he can earn a profit. So the purchase cost of the television is 125 dollars, and the selling cost or retail cost of the television is 200 dollars. So what is the markup. Simply minus 125 dollars from 200 dollars and you will get the amount added to the purchase cost or simply the mark up. So 200 dollars - 125 dollars is 75 dollars. So 75 dollars is the markup that the merchant put on the television

Find the area of triangle DEF with vertices D(-1,2), E(3,-2) and F(-2,-2).*

Veronika [31]

Answer:

<em>The area of the triangle DEF is 10.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Area of a Triangle:</u>

A triangle of base B and height H (both must be perpendicular) has an area of:

$\displaystyle A=\frac{BH}{2}$

The image below shows the triangle formed by the points DEF. It's important to notice the points E and F lie on the same horizontal line because they both have the same y-coordinate.

This fact simplifies the calculations since we can easily compute the length the of base as the difference of their x-coordinates:

B=3-(-2)=3+2=5

Being the base of a horizontal line, the height of the triangle can be calculated as the difference of y-coordinates of D and the height of that line.

H=2-(-2)=4

With these two values, we calculate the area:

$\displaystyle A=\frac{5*4}{2}=10$
