Answer:

67.5 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The points (-3, 5) and ( -3, 8) form a vertical segment, and the points (-3, 5) and ( 2, 5) form a horizontal segment, so the triangle has a right angle.

The base of the triangle is the segment formed by the points (-3, 5) and ( 2, 5), and their distance is:

D1 = sqrt((-3-2)^2 + (5-5)^2) = 5

The height of the triangle is the segment formed by the points (-3, 5) and ( -3, 8), and their distance is:

D2 = sqrt((-3+3)^2 + (5-8)^2) = 3

If the triangle is dilated by a scale of 3, so the base is D1*3 = 15 and the height is D2*3 = 9, then the area is:

The area of a triangle is Base * Height / 2, so we have that:

Area = 15 * 9 / 2 = 67.5 square units

Answer:

The area of the triangle is 7.5 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the coordinates given as

(-3, 5) (-3, 8) and (2, 5)

Let us call the points A = (-3, 5)

B = (-3, 8) and

C = (2, 5)

Therefore the lengths of the sides of the triangle are

AB = a =  \sqrt{(-3-(-3))^2+(5-8)^2} =  3

AC = b = \sqrt{(-3-2)^2+(5-5)^2} =  5

BC = c = \sqrt{(-3-2)^2+(8-5)^2} =  \sqrt{34}

Therefore the Area can be derived from Heron's formula which is

A =  \sqrt{s\times (s-a)\times (s-b)\times (s-c)} where s = semi perimeter or (a + b + c)/2

Therefore, plugging the values, we get

s =   (3 + 5 + √34)/2 = 6.9155≈6.92

A =  \sqrt{6.92\times (6.92-3)\times (6.92-5)\times (6.92-\sqrt{34} )} = 7.499≈7.5.

butalik [34]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formular, Sn = n/2(2a + (n - 1)d)

where, n = 6: Sn = 6/2( -20 + 5(3)) = 3(15 - 20)

∴  Sn = 15

A group of students were given a spelling test the table shows their mark Mark: 6,7,8,9,10 frequency:5,4,7,10,4 a) work out the
____ [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given,

Mark: 6,7,8,9,10

frequency:5,4,7,10,4

a) Range = highest mark - lowest mark

Range = 10 - 6 = 4

b) The number of students in the group is the sum of the frequency. Therefore,

Number of students = 5 + 4 + 7 + 10 + 4 = 30 students

c) Mean mark = (mark × frequency)/total frequency

[(6 × 5) + (7 × 4) + (8 × 7) + (9 × 10) + 10 × 4)]/ 30

Mean mark = (30 + 28 + 56 + 90 + 40)/30 = 244/30

Mean mark = 8.1

An equilateral triangle has a height of 32. Find the length of the sides of the triangle. Round to the nearest hundredth.
telo118 [61]
Let each side=x
Use pythagorus
As height at mid of other side
Then: 32=sqrt(X^2-X^2/4)
Therefore X=36.950
