Three ways to solve this problem:
1. Careful observation of the coordinates reveals that the side PQ is horizontal along the line y=3, and the side length is just (xq-xp)=(3-1)=2 (base =2)
Similarly, RS must also be horizontal with length 2 and along the line y=8.  (check)
Distance between lines RS and PQ = (yr-ys)=(8-3)=5 (height=5)
Area of parallelogram = base * height = 2*5=10

2. This method works for any convex figure with the vertices in order.
The vertices PQSR are in order, if we plot them on a graph.
Then we write the coordinates of PQSR vertically, and repeat P at the bottom, giving
1,3
3,3
9,8
7,8
1,3
Next, multiply diagonally down on each line and add together (4 times)
S1=1*3+3*8+9*8+7*3=3+24+72+21=120
similarly, multiply diagonally up, starting from the second line:
S2=3*3+9*3+7*8+1*8=9+27+56+8=100
The area is half of the bigger number less the smaller,
Area=(120-100)/2=10

3. By graphing on a square paper, and count squares.  Cannot do it here because there is no means to show the graph.  You are welcome use this method to check previous calculations.

Robin and Shaon got 5/6 and 4/5 of the total marks. Robin obtained 30 more marks than Shaon.What is the total marks?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Robin= 750

Sharon= 720

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total marks obtained be X

from question, Robin = 5X/6

Shaon= 4X/5

then, 5X/6= 4X/5+30

or, 5X/6= 4X+150/5

or 25X=24x+900

or,X= 900

therefore robin=750

Shaon = 720

Use the information in the diagram to determine the height of the tree to the nearest foot.
algol13

Answer:

The correct option is A. The height of tree is 60 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure it is noticed that the building is creating a right angle triangle from a point and the tree divides the hypotenuse and base in two equal part.

According to midpoint theorem of triangle: In a triangle, if a line segment connecting the midpoints of two sides, then the line is parallel to third side. The length of line segment is half of the length of third side.

Using midpoint theorem of triangle, we can say that the length of tree is half of the building.

Tree=\frac{1}{2}\times Building

Tree=\frac{1}{2}\times 120

Tree=60

Therefore correct option is A. The height of tree is 60 ft.

I'll use a coordinate plane for this since it's easier (for me) :)

Red = park
Blue = his trail
Pink = distance from park = 3

Hope this helped! Please comment or DM me if you have anymore questions or don't understand :)
