What is the area of a triangle with vertices at (-2,1), (2,1), and (3,4)

The area of a triangle is determined by the formula: Base x Height * 1/2

You'll need to assign a base to the triangle. Based on the vertices given, the simplest base would be the line segment from (-2,1) to (2,1). The distance between any two numbers is found by just subtracting them. Here, you should subtract the x values to find the distance of this side.

2 - (-2) = 4.

So the distance (aka the length of the base) is 4. The height of the triangle is the distance between the base and the highest point on the triangle which is (3,4). We should subtract the y values this time to find the height/distance.

4 - 1 = 3

So the height is 3.

Base = 4

Height = 3

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

  ai) 73000 gal/yr

  aii) $730 per year

  b) 1000 days

Step-by-step explanation:

ai) The water usage per day is ...

  (4 showers/day)(10 min/shower)(5 gal/min) = 200 gal/day

Then the usage per year is ...

 (200 gal/day)(365 days/yr) = 73,000 gal/yr

__

aii) The cost of electricity is the cost of heating half the water usage, so is ...

  (0.20 kWh/gal)(1/2)(73,000 gal/yr)($0.10/kWh) = $730/yr

__

b) The current daily cost of electricity for heating water is ...

  ($730/yr)/(365 days/yr) = $2/day

If the cost is cut in half, it will be $1 per day. That means the savings is $1 per day, so it will take 1000 days to recover the $1000 initial cost. (Effectively, the average cost for the first 1000 days is the same as if the water heater had not been replaced.)

Why is 0.71875 a rational number
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Because it is terminating.

Step-by-step explanation:

0.71875 is rational because it is terminating (has a clear end). If it were a bunch of random numbers that never ended, then it would be irrational.

9966 [12]
If we let x and y represent the prices of adult and child tickets, respectively, then we can write two equations based on the daily sales.
  8x +5y = 108
  x +14y = 67

A graphing calculator shows the solution of these equations to be
  (x, y) = (11, 4)

The price of an adult ticket is $11.
The price of a child ticket is $4.
