Answer:

The area of quadrilateral ABCD is 139 unit^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Quadrilateral ABCD whose vertices are A(1,1) B(7,-3) C(12,2) D(7,21).

Now, to find the area.

The coordinates of the quadrilateral are A(1,1), B(7,-3), C(12,2), D(7,21).

So, to find the area we need to bisect the quadrilateral ABCD and get the triangles ABC and ADC and then calculate their areas:

In Δ ABC:

A(x_1,y_1)=(1,1)\:,\:B(x_2,y_2)=(7,-3)\:and\:C(x_3,y_3)=(12,2)

Now, to get the area of triangle ABC:

Area\,of\,triangle\,=\,\frac{1}{2}\left|x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2)\right|

Area\,of\,triangle\,=\,\frac{1}{2}\left|1(-3-2)+(7)(2-1)+12(1--3)\right|

Area\,of\,triangle\,=\,\frac{1}{2}\left|1(-5)+(7)(1)+12(4)\right|

On solving we get:

Area\,of\,triangle\,=25.

In Δ ADC:

A(x_1,y_1)=(1,1)\:,\:D(x_2,y_2)=(7,21)\:and\:C(x_3,y_3)=(12,2)

Now, to get the area of triangle ADC:

Area\,of\,triangle\,=\,\frac{1}{2}\left|x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2)\right|

Area\,of\,triangle\,=\,\frac{1}{2}\left|1(21-2)+(7)(2-1)+12(1-21)\right|

On solving it by same process as above we get:

Area\,of\,triangle\,=114

Now, to get the area of the quadrilateral we add the areas of the triangles ABC and ADC:

25+114\\=25+114\\=139\ unit^2

Therefore, area of quadrilateral ABCD is 139 unit^2.

Suppose that in a certain county 37% of voters are registered as Democrats, 29% as Republicans, 7% as Green party, and the rest
Fantom [35]

Answer:

0.66

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: Suppose that in a certain county 37\% of voters are registered as Democrats, 29\% as Republicans, 7\% as Green party, and the rest are considered Independents. You conduct a poll by calling registered voters in the county at random.

TO FIND: Probability that the first call will be to either a Democrat or a Republican.

SOLUTION:

Lets total population of county be 100x.

voters registered as Democrats =37\%=\frac{37}{100}\times100x

                                                     =37x

voters registered as Republicans =29\%=\frac{29}{100}\times100x

                                                       =29x

voters registered as Green party =7\%=\frac{7}{100}\times100x

                                                       =7x

Probability that first call will be to Democrats P(A)=\frac{\text{total democrats}}{\text{total voters}}

                                                                                    =\frac{37x}{100x}=0.37

Probability that first call will be to Republican P(B)=\frac{\text{total republicans}}{\text{total voters}}

                                                                                     =\frac{29x}{100x}=0.29

probability that the first call will be to either a Democrat or a Republican

=P(A)+P(B)

=0.37+0.29

=0.66

Hence the probability that the first call will be to either a Democrat or a Republican is 0.66

How many solutions does 2x+2-3x=3x-4
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

1 solution (x = 1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 2 - 3x = 3x - 4

First, combine like terms

2 - x = 3x - 4

Add 4 to both sides

6 - x = 3x

Add x to both sides

6 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

1.5 = x
