<h2>The area of a triangle is =54 square units</h2><h2>The perpendicular distance from B to AC is = \frac{108}{\sqrt{149} } units</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a triangle ABC with vertices A(2,1),B(12,2) and C(12,8)

x_1=2,y_1=1,x_2=12,y_2=2,x_3=12 and      y_3=8

The area of a triangle is= \frac{1}{2} [x_1(y_2-y_3) +x_2 (y_3- y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2)]

=|\frac{1}{2} [2(2-8+12(8-1)+12(1-2)]|

=|-54| = 54 square units

The length of AC = \sqrt{(x_1-x_3)^{2} +(y_1-y_3)^2}

                          = \sqrt{(2-12)^{2} +(1-8)^2}

                         =\sqrt{149} units

Let the perpendicular distance from B to AC be = x

According To Problem

\frac{1}{2} \times  x \times \sqrt{149} = 54

⇔x =\frac{108}{\sqrt{149} } units

Therefore the perpendicular distance from B to AC is = \frac{108}{\sqrt{149} } units

HELP ASAP. Find the set.
postnew [5]

Given:

The given sets are:

U=\{x|x\in N\text{ and }x

A=\{x|x\text{ is an odd natural number and }x

B=\{x|x\text{ is an even natural number and }x

C=\{x|x\in N\text{ and }3

To find

The set B\cap U.

Solution:

We have,

U=\{x|x\in N\text{ and }x

U=\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9\}

B=\{x|x\text{ is an even natural number and }x

B=\{2,4,6,8\}

Now, B\cap U is the set that contains all the common elements of both sets B and U.

B\cap U=\{2,4,6,8\}

B\cap U=B

Therefore, the correct option is A.

lamika buys 12 packs of juice boxes that are on sale and pays a total of 48 dollars. Use a ratio table to determine how much lam
joja [24]

If you divide 48 by 12, you will see how much a single pack costs.

48 ÷ 12 = 2

The ratio is 1 : 2 (This means every one pack costs two dollars.)

To find out how much 8 packs cost, you must multiply the number of packs by the cost of one pack.

8 x 2 = 16

Lamika will need to pay 16 dollars for 8 mors packs.
