The area of the triangle formed by his path is 34971.98 ft sq to the nearest hundredth.
<h3>What is the Heron's formula?</h3>
The Heron's formula is given as;
√s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
where s is half the perimeter of the triangle
WE have been given that horse gallops 200ft, turns and trots 350ft, turns again and travels 410ft to return to the point he started from.
Perimeter of the triangle is given as = 200 + 350 + 410 = 960 ft
Semi perimeter = 960 ft/ 2 = 480 ft
Area = √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
Area = √480 (480 -200)(480 -350)(480 -410)
Area = √480 (280)(130)(70)
Area = √480 (2548000)
Area = 34971.98
The area of the triangle formed by his path is 34971.98 ft sq to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:
is a Step-by-step explanation:
combination
A selection in which order has no importance.A mathematical symbol, or combination of symbols, representing a value, or relation. Example:
2
+
2
=
4
.equation
A mathematical statement that says two expressions have the same value; any number sentence with an
=
.
ordered pair
Set of two numbers in which the order has an agreed-upon meaning, such as the Cartesian coordinates
(
x
,
y
)
, where the first coordinate represents the horizontal position, and the second coordinate represents the vertical position.
solution
1. The value of a variable that makes an equation true.
2. In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of only one phase.
You have the correct answer. Nice work. If you need to see the steps, then see below
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First we need to find the midpoint of H and I
The x coordinates of the two points are -4 and 2. They add to -4+2 = -2 and then cut that in half to get -1
Do the same for the y coordinates: 2+4 = 6 which cuts in half to get 3
So the midpoint of H and I is (-1,3). The perpendicular bisector will go through this midpoint
---------------------
Now we must find the slope of segment HI
H = (-4,2) = (x1,y1)
I = (2,4) = (x2,y2)
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (4 - 2)/(2 - (-4))
m = (4 - 2)/(2 + 4)
m = 2/6
m = 1/3
Flip the fraction to get 1/3 ---> 3/1 = 3
Then flip the sign: +3 ----> -3
So the slope of the perpendicular bisector is -3
-----------------------
Use m = -3 which is the slope we found
and (x,y) = (-1,3), which is the midpoint found earlier
to get the following
y = mx+b
3 = -3*(-1)+b
3 = 3+b
3-3 = 3+b-3
0 = b
b = 0
So if m = -3 and b = 0, then y = mx+b turns into y = -3x+0 and it simplifies to y = -3x
So that confirms you have the right answer. I've also used GeoGebra to help confirm the answer (see attached)
8÷3 is 2.666666667, 6 is greater than 5 so rounded to the nearest tenth it is 2.7
