Answer:

\dfrac{\sqrt{40}\cdot \sqrt{40}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the base is the distance between the points 4+2i and 10+4i, so

\text{Base}=|10+4i-(4+2i)|=|10+4i-4-2i|=|6+2i|=\sqrt{6^2+2^2}=\\ \\=\sqrt{36+4}=\sqrt{40}

The middle point of the base is placed at point

\dfrac{4+2i+10+4i}{2}=\dfrac{6i+14}{2}=7+3i

The length of the height is the distance between the points 5+9i and 7+3i

\text{Height}=|5+9i-(7+3i)|=|5+9i-7-3i|=|-2+6i|=\sqrt{(-2)^2+6^2}=\\ \\=\sqrt{4+36}=\sqrt{40}

So, the area of the triangle is

A=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \text{Base}\cdot \text{Height}=\dfrac{\sqrt{40}\cdot \sqrt{40}}{2}

What is the mean of the data set?
andre [41]
You find the mean by adding each value then dividing the sum by the number of values there were so in this case you'd say 301 + 222 + 287 + 310 + 346 which is 1466 then divide by 5 because there are 5 values and your answer is 293.2!

I hope this helps
