Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle equals 1/2*base of triangle*height of triangle. Think about when you're finding the area of a square, you multiply the base times its height. A triangle is half of a square so then you just multiply it by 1/2.

Find the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are (8,6) and (-2,-8).

inna [77]

Answer:

$\huge{ \fbox{ \sf{ \: ( \: 3 \: , \: - 1 \: )}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\star{ \sf { \: Let \: the \: points \:be \: A \: and \: B}}$

$\star{ \sf{ \: Let \: \: A (8,6) \: be \: (x1 \:, y1) and \: B(-2,-8) \: be \: (x2 \:, y2)}}$

$\underline{ \sf{Finding \: the \: midpoint}}$

$\boxed{ \rm{Midpoint \: = \: ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} \: , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = ( \frac{8 + ( - 2)}{2} \: , \: \frac{6 + ( - 8)}{2} )}}$

$\mapsto { \sf{Midpoint = ( \frac{8 - 2}{2} \: , \: \frac{6 - 8}{2} }})$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = ( \frac{6}{2} \: , \: \frac{ - 2}{2}) }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = (3 \: \: , - 1)}}$

Hope I helped!

Best wishes!! :D

Find sin 2a and cot 2a:

Answer:

$sin(2\alpha )=2(\frac{5}{12})(\frac{12}{13})=\frac{10}{13}\\cot(2\alpha ) = \frac{16511}{18720}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{if } cos(\alpha)=\frac{12}{13}\\\text{That must mean we have a triangle with base 12, and hypotenuse 13.}\\\text{Using Pythagoras, we can determine the base of the triangle must be 5.}\\a^2+b^2=c^2 \text{, where c is the hypotenuse and a, b are the two other sides.}\\c^2-b^2=a^2\\\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a\\\sqrt{13^2-12^2}=\sqrt{169-144}=\sqrt{25}=5\\\text{Therefore, }sin(\alpha) = \frac{5}{12}\\sin(2\alpha)=2sin(\alpha )cos(\alpha)\\\text{(From double angle formulae identities)}\\$

$sin(2\alpha )=2(\frac{5}{12})(\frac{12}{13})=\frac{10}{13}\\cos(2\alpha )=cos^2(\alpha)-sin^2(\alpha)\\cos(2\alpha )=(\frac{12}{13})^2-(\frac{5}{12})^2=\frac{16511}{24336}\\cot(2\alpha)=\frac{cos(2\alpha)}{sin(2\alpha)}=\frac{\frac{16511}{24336}}{\frac{10}{13}}=\frac{16511}{18720}$
