First we are going to draw the triangle using the given coordinates. 
Next, we are going to use the distance formula to find the sides of our triangle.
Distance formula: d= \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}

Distance from point A to point B:
d_{AB}= \sqrt{[6-(-9)]^2+(10-5)^2}
d_{AB}= \sqrt{(6+9)^2+(10-5)^2}
d_{AB}= \sqrt{(15)^2+(5)^2}
d_{AB}= \sqrt{225+25}
d_{AB}= \sqrt{250}
d_{AB}=15.81

Distance from point A to point C:
d_{AC}= \sqrt{[2-(-9)]^2+(-10-5)^2}
d_{AC}= \sqrt{(2+9)^2+(-10-5)^2}
d_{AC}= \sqrt{11^2+(-15)^2}
d_{AC}= \sqrt{121+225}
d_{AC}= \sqrt{346}
d_{AC}= 18.60

Distance from point B from point C
d_{BC}= \sqrt{(2-6)^2+(-10-10)^2}
d_{BC}= \sqrt{(-4)^2+(-20)^2}
d_{BC}= \sqrt{16+400}
d_{BC}= \sqrt{416}
d_{BC}=20.40

Now, we are going to find the semi-perimeter of our triangle using the semi-perimeter formula:
s= \frac{AB+AC+BC}{2}
s= \frac{15.81+18.60+20.40}{2}
s= \frac{54.81}{2}
s=27.41

Finally, to find the area of our triangle, we are going to use Heron's formula:
A= \sqrt{s(s-AB)(s-AC)(s-BC)}
A=\sqrt{27.41(27.41-15.81)(27.41-18.60)(27.41-20.40)}
A= \sqrt{27.41(11.6)(8.81)(7.01)}
A=140.13

We can conclude that the perimeter of our triangle is 140.13 square units.

You have 3/4 a cup of flour in your cupboard. A recipe for bread calls for 1/5 cup of flour. How much flour would you have left
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

11/20 cups left

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we need to convert 3/4 and 1/5 into fractions with common denominators

so we would have:

15/20 and 4/20

now we need to subtract the fractions to get the difference

so we would do:

15/20 - 4/20 = 11/20

and that's the answer

hope that helped

Ksju [112]

Answer:

79

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between 79 and 22 is 57. 79 is THE number. All you have to do is add 22 and 57 because the answer you get would ALWAYS have one of the numbers added as the difference.
