1/2sqrt((x_1^2+y_1^2)(x_2^2+y_2^2))

The area of a triangle is equal to 1/2bh (one half base times height). Since this is a right triangle, the base and height are the two legs connected to the 90* angle. To find the values of these sides, we will use Pythagorean Theorem, root a squared plus b squared.

Short leg: <x(1),y(1)>

This leg can be seen as the hypotenuse of an invisible right triangle. The x value, x(1), is how far over the x value has gone from the origon at x=0. Imagine a leg alone the x-axis, going from (0,0) to (x(1),0). The y value of the point, y(1), works the same way. This leg will go from our previous mark at (x(1),0) to the point (x(1),y(1)). This shows that the short leg of the main triangle is the hypotenuse, with a height of y(1) and base of x(1). Pythagoreum Theorem shows that the length of this leg is equal to sqrt(x_1^2+y_1^2).

Long leg: <x(2), y(2)>

The same process works here, giving us sqrt(x_2^2+y_2^2).

Now for the area, we have the b and h values. Our equation reads 1/2sqrt(x_1^2+y_1^2)sqrt(x_2^2+y_2^2).

But we can simplify this (yay). The two square roots can be written together as sqrt((x_1^2+y_1^2)(x_2^2+y_2^2))

So the correct answer is 1/2sqrt((x_1^2+y_1^2)(x_2^2+y_2^2))

Novay_Z [31]

Answer: x = 4; x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The directions specify to solve by factoring

x^2 - 9x + 20 = 0

To factor, find two numbers that add to -9 and multiply to 20

-5 and -4 work

-5 + (-4) = -9

-5 * -4 = 20

(x - 4)(x - 5) = 0

x = 4, x =5

Veronika [31]

Answer:

I=\$47.25

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

I=P(rt)

where

I is the Final Interest Value

P is the amount of money borrowed

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

t=9/12\ years\\ P=\$900\\r=0.07

substitute in the formula above

I=900(0.07(9/12))

I=\$47.25

A short necklace has 32 gold beads and 8 black beads.
joja [24]

Answer:

12 black beads

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ration of gold beads to black beads on the short necklace:

\frac{gold}{black}=\frac{32}{8}=\frac{4}{1}

Since the ratio of 4:1 has 5 total parts, you can take the total amount of beads in the long necklace and divide by 5:

60 ÷ 5 = 12

12 beads represents 1 part of the ratio, so that would be the number of black beads.  To check, multiply 12 by 4:  12 x 4 = 48, and set up a ratio:

48: 12 = 4: 1
