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

-3(12 - m) = -1(m - 8)
victus00 [196]

Answer:

m = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

- 3(12 - m) = - 1(m - 8)

- 36 - (- 3m) = - m - 8

- 36 + 3m = - m - 8

- 36 + 3m + m = - m + m - 8

- 36 + 4m = - 8

- 36 + 36 + 4m = - 8 + 36

4m = 28

4m ÷ 4 = 28 ÷ 4

m = 7

A bag contains 13 dark chocolates, 16 white chocolates, and 11 milk chocolates. Maggie’s class teacher, Jill, is very strict, an
Katarina [22]
We are given with a bag containing 13 dark chocolates, 16 white chocolates, and 11 milk chocolates. hence the sample space is 13 + 16 + 11 equal to 40 chocolates. The <span> probability that she randomly picks a white chocolate is 16/40 or 2/5 and that she picks a milk chocolate is 11/40. Hence the probability of picking either is (16+11) /40 equal to 27/40</span>

Answer please? ___ feet per second
Oksanka [162]

Answer: 30 feet per second

========================================

x = diameter, y = speed of water

y varies inversely with respect to x, so, y = k/x for some constant k

If x = 0.6 and y = 5 pair up, then y = k/x turns into 5 = k/0.6 which solves to k = 3 when you multiply both sides by 0.6

So the equation y = k/x turns into y = 3/x

Now plug in the diameter x = 0.1 to find the speed to be...

y = 3/x

y = 3/0.1

y = 30 feet per second

Can you help me solve these
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

1. y = 5 - 2x

2. b = a - 3

3. x = 5y - 12

4. c = (12+7d)/3

5. y = (24-4x)/3

6. x = (4 - 3y)/2
