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

Mathematics

Advocard [28]3 years ago

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

Six more than the quotient of a number and 2 equals 8
ikadub [295]
Let number=x

(X/2)+6=8

First subtract 6 on each side to isolate X on one side.

(X/2)=2

Now to fully isolate X by itself, just multiply 2 on each side.

X=4

Choose 5 cards from a full deck of 52 cards with 13values (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, A) and 4 kinds(spade, diamond, h
Delvig [45]

Answer:

a) 182 possible ways.

b) 5148 possible ways.

c) 1378 possible ways.

d) 2899 possible ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the cards are chosen is not important, which means that we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this question, we have that:

There are 52 total cards, of which:

13 are spades.

13 are diamonds.

13 are hearts.

13 are clubs.

(a)Two-pairs: Two pairs plus another card of a different value, for example:

2 pairs of 2 from sets os 13.

1 other card, from a set of 26(whichever two cards were not chosen above). So

T = 2C_{13,2} + C_{26,1} = 2*\frac{13!}{2!11!} + \frac{26!}{1!25!} = 182

So 182 possible ways.

(b)Flush: five cards of the same suit but different values, for example:

4 combinations of 5 from a set of 13(can be all spades, all diamonds, and hearts or all clubs). So

T = 4*C_{13,5} = 4*\frac{13!}{5!8!} = 5148

So 5148 possible ways.

(c)Full house: A three of a kind and a pair, for example:

4 combinations of 3 from a set of 13(three of a kind ,c an be all possible kinds).

3 combinations of 2 from a set of 13(the pair, cant be the kind chosen for the trio, so 3 combinations). So

T = 4*C_{13,3} + 3*C_{13.2} = 4*\frac{13!}{3!10!} + 3*\frac{13!}{2!11!} = 1378

So 1378 possible ways.

(d)Four of a kind: Four cards of the same value, for example:

4 combinations of 4 from a set of 13(four of a kind, can be all spades, all diamonds, and hearts or all clubs).

1 from the remaining 39(do not involve the kind chosen above). So

T = 4*C_{13,4} + C_{39,1} = 4*\frac{13!}{4!9!} + \frac{39!}{1!38!} = 2899

So 2899 possible ways.
