Calculate the area of triangle ABC with altitude CD, given A (−3, −4), B (−6, 2), C (0, 0), and D (−4, −2). a. 14 square units b
. 15 square units c. 18 square units d. 20 square units
1 answer:
Answer:
b. 15 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
We notice from the graph that AB is the hypotenuse of a right triangle 3 units wide and 6 units high. The Pythagorean theorem tells you the length of that will be ...
AB = √(3^2 +6^2) = √45 = 3√5
Similarly, altitude CD is the hypotenuse of a right triangle 4 units wide and 2 units high, so its length will be ...
CD = √(4^2 +2^2) = √20 = 2√5
The area is given by the formula ...
A = 1/2bh
A = 1/2(3√5)(2√5) = 15 . . . square units

Answer:
C. 176.6 Square feet (I think)
Step-by-step explanation:
I tried many different ways and got three of the answers above but I think this is the right one.
The equation to find area of a circular cone base:
- We are given the diameter (15 Feet) but we need to find the radius. So we use the diameter to radius formula:
- Plug in numbers:
≈
- Use the Area formula now that you have radius:
- Solve and get =
- Looking at the options the closest one to our answer (off by one-tenth) is C.
Sorry if you get this wrong. I tried lol.
