In geometry, Heron's formula (sometimes called Hero's formula), named after Hero of Alexandria, gives the area of a triangle by

requiring no arbitrary choice of side as base or vertex as origin, contrary to other formulae for the area of a triangle, such as half the base times the height. Use Heron's Formula to find the area, in square yards, of ΔABC.

Answer:

D. 6.495 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

s = \frac{a+b+c}{2}        Substitute

s = \frac{7+3+5 }{2}        Add

s = 15/2          Divide

s = 7.5

Now use the equation for area

A = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}       Substitute

A=\sqrt{7.5(7.5 - 7)(7.5-3)(7.5-5)   Subtract in the parentheses

A=\sqrt{7.5(0.5)(4.5)(2.5)}                      Multiply

A=\sqrt{42.1875}                                     Take the square root

A = 6.495 ft²

∆ABC is translated 2 units down and 1 unit to the left. Then it is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin to form ∆A′B′C′. The c
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

A'(-2, 1), B'(1, 0), C'(-1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are rotation, reflection, dilation and translation.

If a point X(x, y) is translated a units right and b units down, the new location is X'(x + a, y + b) whereas if a point X(x, y) is translated a units left and b units up, the new location is X'(x - a, y - b).

If a point X(x, y) is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin, the new location is X'(y, -x)

From the image attached, ∆ABC is at A(0, 0), B(1,3) C(1, 1)

If ∆ABC is translated 2 units down and 1 unit to the left (x - 1, y - 2), the vertices would be A*(-1, -2), B*(0, 1), C*(0, -1)

If it is then rotated 90° clockwise about the origin, the new location is A'(-2, 1), B'(1, 0), C'(-1, 0)

tresset_1 [31]
Hi!

(l = Lenny
m = Max)

Lenny is 3 times as old as Max.
3m = l

When you subtract Max's age from Lenny's age, you get 24.
L - m = 24

Put in the value of l.
3m - m = 24
There is our equation.

Now solve

2m = 24
2m/2 = 24/2
m = 12

3 * 12 = l
36 = l

The equation is 3m - m = 24
Max is 12 and Lenny is 36.

Hope this helps! :)

In a circle with an 8-inch radius, a central angle has a measure of 60°. How long is the segment joining the endpoints of the ar
g100num [7]
Given the radius, circumference can be solved by the equation, C = 2πr. The circumference of the circle above is C = 2π(8 in) = 16<span>π in. To solve for the length of the segment joining the arc is the circumference times the ratio of central angle and 360 degrees.

                          Length of the segment = (16</span>π in)(60/360) = 8/3 <span>π in

Thus, the length of the segment is approximately 8.36 in. </span>

A company’s board of directors wants to form a committee of 3 of its members. There are 4 members to choose from. How many diffe
Ugo [173]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 board members and 3 committee members. You can solve this using combinations:

4C3 = 4!/(3!(4-3)!) = 4!/(3!1!) = 4

You can also solve this by recognizing that since there is one fewer committee spot than there are board members, there will be one possible committee excluding each of the 4 board members.
