Answer:

97.98

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the parallelogram PQR is the magnitude of the cross product of any two adjacent sides. Using PQ and PS as the adjacent sides;

Area of the parallelogram = |PQ×PS|

PQ = Q-P and PS = S-P

Given P(0,0,0), Q(4,-5,3), R(4,-7,1), S(8,-12,4)

PQ = (4,-5,3) - (0,0,0)

PQ = (4,-5,3)

Also, PS = S-P

PS = (8,-12,4)-(0,0,0)

PS = (8,-12,4)

Taking the cross product of both vectors i.e PQ×PS

(4,5,-3)×(8,-12,4)

PQ×PS = (20-36)i - (16-(-24))j + (-48-40)k

PQ×PS = -16i - 40j -88k

|PQ×PS| = √(-16)²+(-40)²+(-88)²

|PQ×PS| = √256+1600+7744

|PQ×PS| = √9600

|PQ×PS| ≈ 97.98

Hence the area of the parallelogram is 97.98

I think there are 12 possible outcomes in the sample space. Because if you put one crust with one topping for each crust and topping it equals up to 12.

z = (x - 500) / 100

1.75 = (x - 500) / 100

175 = x - 500

An isosceles triangle’s altitude will bisect its base. Which expression could be used to find the area of the isosceles triangle

omeli [17]

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

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

Estefani‘s house is at point E (3,-2) and Jasmin’s house is at point J (-5,3). Jasmin’s house is the Mid-point of Estefani’s hou

iren [92.7K]

The formula for midpoint is

( $\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}$ , $\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}$ )

Look at the image below to see the line segment of Estefani's (A), Jasmin's (M), and Preston's (B) houses. Keep in mind that the segment shown below is not accurate in regards to how the line segment formed by Estefani's, Jasmin's, and Preston's houses. It is simply there so you can picture the segment better.

In this case:

$x_{1} =3\\x_{2} =unknown\\y_{1} =-2\\y_{2} =unknown$

^^^Plug in these number into the formula given above...

( $\frac{3+x}{2}$ , $\frac{-2 + y}{2}$ )

To find what x is (a coordinate of Preston's house) you must take the x-value part of the midpoint equation ( $\frac{3+x}{2}$ ) and set it equal to the x-value of the midpoint (-5). Then you must solve for x:

$\frac{3+x}{2}$ = -5

3 + x = -5 * 2

3 + x = -10

x = -10 - 3

x = -13

To find what y is (a coordinate of Preston's house) you must take the y-value part of the midpoint equation( $\frac{-2 + y}{2}$ ) and set it equal to the y-value of the midpoint (3). Then you must solve for y:

$\frac{-2 + y}{2}$ = 3

-2 + y = 3 * 2

-2 + y = 6

y = 6 + 2

y = 8

The coordinate of Preston's house is:

(-13, 8)

Hope this helped!

Two rectangles are the same one has a length of 11 cm and a width of 10 cm and the other has a width of 7 cm find the length of

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

D) 7.7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

L/W=11cm/10cm=x/7cm

cross multiply to find x

10x=77

divide 10 by both sides

x=7.7
