from the question, (-2,2) and (1,2) have the same y value so you can use that as your base and easily find the perpendicular height using the y axis since it's parallel to the x axis.

the third point, (0,-6), to the base is your height

use the sum of the positive of the y values to find your height (because height can't be negative): 6+2 = 8

area of a triangle = 1/2 bh = 1/2 x 3 x 8 = 12

Note: 1/2 bh only works because (-2,2) and (1,2) form a line parallel to the x axis

What is the lesson? We are aware that the 2 triangles are congruent, they also tell us what the two segments are equal to. Your best is to set up an equation making the segments equal to eachother to find the value of segment WK

What is the surface area of the sphere

belka [17]

To solve for surface area of a sphere, the formula is 4*pi*r^2 where "r" is the radius. Since we know the diameter and that it is the length across the sphere, and that the radius is the distance from the center to the edge, we can divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius. This shows the radius is 5. Now all we have to do is substitute in the 5 for the "r" and solve.

SA=4*pi*r^2
SA=4*pi*5^2
SA=314.159

We are rounding to the hundredth here, so we can say the surface area of the sphere is (A) approximately 314.16 square miles.
