Negative. A negative number times a positive number is equal to a negative number. X multiplied by Y is a positive.
For this case we have the following equation:

We must replace the following value in the equation:

Substituting we have:

Simplifying the given expression we have:

Then, using logarithm properties in base 10, we can rewrite the expression:

Finally, making the product, the result is:
Answer:
option 4
First blank: sin. C = h/a
The ratio for sin. is opposite (the height) over hypotenuse (a).
Second blank: Area = (1/2)b(a sin. C)
In this substitution, we are substituting the value of h into the traditional area of a triangle formula.
Third Blank: Area = (1/2)ab(sin C)
We are using the commutative property to move the position of a.
Hope this helps and good luck in your classes!
$2.50 was left for each person.
4(9.50) + x = 48
38 + x = 48
subtract 38 on both sides
x = 10
10$ was left in total by all 4 people
10/4 = 2.50
$2.50 was left over for each person
