Triangle ABC has the coordinates A(-3, -2), B(2, 4) and C(2,-2). What is the area of triangle ABC?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: The area is 15 square units

Step-by-step explanation: It is helpful to sketch the coordinates on a graph to get an idea of what the triangle looks like so you can see which side will be the base, and where to get the height. You will see that AB is the hypotenuse, it is a right triangle, so AC can be the base and BC is the height.

Use the differences in x-values of points C & A to get the length of the base: 2-(-3) is 5

Use the differences in y-values of points B & C to get the height:

4-(-2) = 6

Area = bh/2

A = 5×6/2 = 30/2

A = 15 square unts

romanna [79]

150-25=125mph

130-25=105

This means it was going 125mph and that it dropped an altitude of 25 degrees because of the wind and the slow down of the helicopter

This is a sketch of the curve with equation y = f(x).

Katen [24]

Answer:

We have to use the formule to calculate the vertex which is: V(-b/2a;4ac-b^2/4a)

A) y=x+7 where a=1 b=0 and c=7

By replacing we have: V(0;28/4) V(0;7)

B) y=-x where a=-1 b and c=0 so V(0,0)

Solve for x 2x^2 = 128 Answers -6 and 6 -8 and 8 -32 and 32 -64 and 64

uysha [10]

Divide both sides by 2

x^2 = 128/2

Simplify 128/2 to 64

x^2 = 64

Take the square root of both sides;

x = √64

Since 8 * 8 = 64, the square root of 64 is 8

x = -8 and 8

Answer: B -8 and 8
