Hello:

<span>area : a = (b×h)/2
           20 = (5×h)/2
           h = (20×2)/5 = 8 m²  </span>

Anit [1.1K]

Let

A(0,0)\\ B (2.8, 2.1)\\C(4.3, 4.4)

using a graph tool

see the attached figure

The figure is a triangle

we know that

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

Hero's Formula is equal to

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

where

p is  is half the perimeter of the triangle

 a,b,c are the lengths of the sides of a triangle

so

Step 1

<u>Find the length sides of the triangle</u>

a) <u>Find the distance AB</u>

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

Substitute

d =\sqrt{(2.1-0)^{2} +(2.8-0)^{2}}

d =3.5\ mi}

b) <u>Find the distance AC</u>

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

Substitute

d =\sqrt{(4.4-0)^{2} +(4.3-0)^{2}}

d =6.15\ mi}

c) <u>Find the distance BC</u>

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

Substitute

d =\sqrt{(4.4-2.1)^{2} +(4.3-2.8)^{2}}

d =2.75\ mi}

Step 2

<u>Find the perimeter of the triangle</u>

Perimeter= 3.5+6.15+2.75 =12.4\ mi

<u>Find the half of the perimeter </u>

p=\frac{12.4}{2} = 6.2\ mi

Step 3

<u>Find the area of the triangle</u>

Area=\sqrt{6.2*(6.2-3.5)*(6.2-6.15)*(6.2-2.75)}

Area=\sqrt{6.2*(2.7)*(0.05)*(3.45)}

Area= 1.69\ mi^{2}

therefore

<u>the answer is the option </u>

a) 1.65 mi^2.

Help please!!! A bag contains 50 marbles, 10 of which are blue, 8 are red, 20 are green, and 12 are purple. Marcie takes a marbl
Andru [333]

Answer:

A


Step-by-step explanation:

We would need to multiply the number of trials (which is 500) by the probability of choosing a red in 1 try from the information given.


<em>There are 50 in total, and 8 of them are red, so:</em>

P(red) = \frac{8}{50}=0.16


<em>Now we multiply this with 500 to get:</em>

500*0.16=80


The correct answer is A.
