Answer: $6.00
Step-by-step explanation:
The radius can be found with the Pythagorean theorem. Assuming r is the radius, 14²+r²=17². Multiply it out to 196+r²=289. Subtract 196 from both sides and you're left with r²=93. So, r=√93, or about 9.6 to the nearest tenth.
First you have to get the equation into slope/intercept format: y = mx + b
So the slope m = 2, and the y-intercept b = -1.
b tells you where the line intersects the y axis. The slope is rise (vertical distance) over run (horizontal distance). I have attached my best attempt at drawing this without graph paper. The dotted line represents the inequality, and the solution set includes the values above the line which is why it is shaded. Hope this helps!
Answer: Choice C) 10.5
The distance from A to C is 7 units (count out the spaces between the two points, or subtract y coordinates 4-(-3) = 4+3 = 7)
Let AC = 7 be the base of the triangle. You might want to rotate the image so that AC is laying horizontally rather than being vertical.
Now move to point P. Walk 3 spaces to the right until you land on segment AC. This shows that the height of the triangle is 3 when the base is AC = 7.
base = 7, height = 3
area of triangle = (1/2)*base*height
area of triangle = 0.5*7*3
area of triangle = 10.5 square units
