Answer:

Option C. 6 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Heron's Formula is a method for calculating the area of a triangle when you know the lengths of all three sides.  

Let  

a,b,c be the lengths of the sides of a triangle.  

The area is given by:

A=\sqrt{p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)}

where

p is half the perimeter

p=\frac{a+b+c}{2}

we have

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(-2,1), B(-2,-3), and C(1,-2)

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

step 1

Find the distance AB

d=\sqrt{(-3-1)^{2}+(-2+2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(-4)^{2}+(0)^{2}}

dAB=4\ units

step 2

Find the distance BC

d=\sqrt{(-2+3)^{2}+(1+2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(1)^{2}+(3)^{2}}

dBC=\sqrt{10}\ units

step 3

Find the distance AC

d=\sqrt{(-2-1)^{2}+(1+2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(3)^{2}}

dBC=\sqrt{18}\ units

step 4

a=AB=4\ units

b=BC=\sqrt{10}\ units

c=AC=\sqrt{18}\ units

Find the half perimeter p

p=\frac{4+\sqrt{10}+\sqrt{18}}{2}=5.70\ units

Find the area

A=\sqrt{5.7(5.7-4)(5.7-3.16)(5.7-4.24)}

A=\sqrt{5.7(1.7)(2.54)(1.46)}

A=\sqrt{35.93}

A=6\ units^{2}

Hypothesis testing on samples with fewer than 30 participants can be carried out by using the t-value for the corresponding leve
Eva8 [605]

Answer: true

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-tests are statistical calculations that can be used to compare the population mean to a sample mean The z-score is used to tellsbhow far in standard deviations a data point is from the mean of the data set. z-test compares a sample to a defined population and is typically used for dealing with problems relating to large samples (n > 30). Z-tests can also be used to test a hypothesis. Z-test is most useful when the standard deviation is known.

Like z-tests, t-tests are used to test a hypothesis, but a t-test asks whether a difference between the means of two groups is not likely to have occurred because of random chance. Usually, t-tests are used when dealing with problems with a small sample size (n < 30).

Both tests (z-tests and t-tests) are used in data with normal distribution (a sample data or population data that is evenly distributed around the mean).

Hey if you're willing to help me with this, it will be very much appreciated, thanks maties and mates.
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Width=37in

Length=55in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x in be the width dimension, the length dimension will be x+18 in. Area of a rectangle is calculated as A=lw. Given  the area as2143 sq in, x can be calculated as:

Area= x(18+x)\\\\=18x+x^2\\\\

#Substitute for every x in our function to find the true value of x:

x=37\\\\A=x^2+18x\\\\=37^2+18\times37\\\\=2035 \ in^2#l=37+18=55in

for x=38:

x=38\\\\A=x^2+18x\\\\=38^2+18\times38\\\\=2128 \ in^2#l=38+18=56in

For x=39:

x=39\\\\A=x^2+18x\\\\=39^2+18\times39\\\\=2223 \ in^2#l=39+1854in

From the calculations above, A television with a width of 37 in and length 55in has its area closest to 2143 sq in.

981 rounded to nearest 100
sergey [27]

Answer: 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

     9         8       1

Hundred tens one

The question is asking for to round to the nearest hundred (100) which means is rounding to [9] in this question.

The number of the place before the hundreds place is [8] on the tens place.

  • When numbers are greater than or equal to 5, you round up a digit.
  • When numbers are less than 5, you round down a digit.

[8] is greater than 5, so you round 9 up. When rounding 9 up, you get 10.

<h2>So, the final number will be 1000</h2>

URGENT! 100 POINTS TO SOLVE!
masya89 [10]

Answer:

20/5 = x /4 x = 80/5 = 16

x - 10 / 39 = 5/15 = 1/3

3x - 30 = 39

3x = 69

x = 23

(2x + 10 ) * 4 = 10 *(x + 3)

8x + 40 = 10x + 30

2x = 10

x = 4.

AE = 2(5) + 10 = 20, hope this helped.
