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.

At the fair 4 employees were paid $8.75 an hour to work at a funnel cake stand. They worked 8 hours at regular pay then for 5 ho
nordsb [41]

Answer:

$125.25

Step-by-step explanation:

8.75*h+11.25*e

h is hours regular pay and e is extra pay for overtime. Since its an extra $2.50 for overtime, add that to the regular pay. Put in the hours:

8.75*8+11.25*5

Simplify by multiplying 8.75 by 8

70+11.25*5

Simplify by multiplying 11.25 by 5

70+56.25

Add

70+56.25=126.25

Since it says how much did each earn, as in individually, leave it as it is (unless regular pay was $2.18 an hour, which would be a rip-off). I'm pretty sure including the number of employees was meant to throw you off.
