<h3>Answer: 1/6</h3>

Work Shown:

x = 0.1666666...

10x = 1.666666...

100x = 16.666666...

100x - 10x = 16.666666... - 1.666666...

90x = 15

x = 15/90

x = (1*15)/(6*15)

x = 1/6

So, 1/6 = 0.1666666...

<h3>Answer: 1</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

We're given the height in relation to base BC, so we need to find the length of this base. This is the same as finding the distance from B to C.

Turn to the distance formula

$d = \text{Distance from B to C}\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y^2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-2-(-3))^2+(-1-(-2))^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-2+3)^2+(-1+2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(1)^2+(1)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{1+1}\\\\d = \sqrt{2}\\\\$

Coincidentally, the base and height are the same. This won't always be the case.

Now we can find the area of the triangle

$A = \text{Area of triangle}\\\\A = \frac{1}{2}*\text{Base}*\text{Height}\\\\A = \frac{1}{2}*\sqrt{2}*\sqrt{2}\\\\A = \frac{1}{2}*\sqrt{2*2}\\\\A = \frac{1}{2}*\sqrt{4}\\\\A = \frac{1}{2}*2\\\\A = 1\\\\$
