Answer:
Area = 21/2 = 10.5 area units
Step-by-step explanation:
Two of the points are on the same line (the y-axis) as they both have x-coordinates of 0. This can thus be the base of your triangle.
Two more are on the same line (y= -9) as they both have the same y-coordinate of -9. This can be the height of your triangle.
So you have a base which is between -2 and -9 (7 units) and a height which is between 0 and 3 (3 units) so now just use the equation for area of a triangle
x = longer section
y = shorter section
x + y = 109
x = 2y + 10
so we sub in eq 2 into eq 1
2y + 10 + y = 109
3y + 10 = 109
3y = 109 - 10
3y = 99
y = 99/3
y = 33 <=== shorter section is 33 cm
x = 2y + 10
x = 2(33) + 10
x = 66 + 10
x = 76 <=== longer section is 76 cm
20/28 = 5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Total number of students in the algebra class is 28
Given that the number of students who play neither sport = 8
Step 2 :
Probability that a student randomly chosen does not play any sport is obtained by number of students who play neither sport/ total number of students
Hence probability is 8/28
Step 3 :
The probability that a student randomly chosen plays either basketball or base ball = 1 - 8/28 = 20/28 = 5/7
