Important question. No menu of choices given so we'll just have to figure it out.

It's not possible in two dimensions for all three vertices of an equilateral triangle to be lattice points, i.e. points with integer coordinates.  

Since A(-2,1) and B(4,1) have integer coordinates, our other point won't. There will be a √3 involved, the algebraic tell that there's a 30/60/90 triangle lurking somewhere in the problem.

Here the given side is parallel to the x axis which makes things easier.  

|AB| = 4 - -2 = 6

The x coordinate of the third vertex will be the same as that of the midpoint of AB, let's call it M,

M = ( (-2 + 4) / 2, (1 + 1)/2 ) = (1, 1)

We're making some progress.  Whatever our height h is our two candidates for the third vertex C are (1, 1 ± h).

Since |AB|=6, we get |AB|=|BC|=|AC|=6 because it's an equilateral triangle.

The altitude CM bisects the triangle into 2 30/60/90 triangles.  Let's take one of them, AMC.  Angle AMC is a right angle, so we have a right triangle with legs |AM|=3 and |CM|=h, and hypotenuse |AC|=6. The Pythagorean Theorem tells us:

3² + h² = 6²

9 + h² = 36

h² = 27

h = 3√3

Answer: C is (1, 1 + 3√3) or (1, 1 - 3√3)

Set A contains 35 elements and set B contains 22 elements. If there are 40 elements in (A ∪ B) then how many elements are in (A
Leona [35]

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of elements are in (A ∩ B) is shown below;

Given that

Set A contains 35 elements

And, set B contains 22 elements

Now if there are 40 elements in (A ∪ B)

So, the number of elements are in (A ∩ B) is

= 35 + 22 - 40

= 17

Can you please help me please please thank you very much you please
kipiarov [429]

we know that

The unit rate is $0.65 per foot

so

To find out the cost, multiply the unit rate by the length of the rope

so

0.65*(10.8)=$7.02

therefore

<h2>The cost is $7.02</h2>
