<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

Answer:

y=1/2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you need to know is that the slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of the other slope. Find the slope of this line, which is -2. The opposite reciprocal is 1/2. So, you know that the perpendicular line is equal to y=1/2x. Plug the x coordinate (4) in for x to have: y=1/2(4). Multiply 4 by 1/2 to get y=2. Since the y coordinate is supposed to equal 5, add 3 to y=2 to get 5. Since 3 is the amount we added, thats where the y intercept will be. Hope this helped!
