This question can be solved using the Herons equation where 
A = SQRT [s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)]

A = area of the triangle
a, b and c are the sides of the triangle

s = (a+b+c)/2

Since we are given the area, we can express "s" as a function of the third side c. This can be substituted in the original equation so as to obtain an expression to solve for the third side c

s = (4+10+c)/2 = (14+c)/2

using the solver function of the calculator or MS Excel, the third side is 7.21 units

Without graphing, tell whether the line containing (4, 2) and (4, 9) is horizontal, vertical, or neither.
telo118 [61]

Answer:

Vertical.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is vertical because 4 + 4 (adding both X-axis, totalling 8) is smaller than 9 + 2 (adding both Y-axis, totalling 11), so the Y-axis, which is vertical, is bigger.
