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

Square Roots: 2(x + 1) - 10 = -28​
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x + 1) - 10 = -28

2 * x = 2x

2 * 1 = 2

2x + 2 - 10 = -28

Combine like terms

-10 + 2 = -8

2x - 8 = -28

   +8     +8

2x = -20

----    -----

2        2

x = -10

A mouse is traveling at a rate of 100 feet per hour. One half hour later, a snake smells the
Arlecino [84]

Let, snake catches the mouse in t hours. Till then mouse is travelling from

( t + 1.5 ) hours.

Distance, travelled by mouse in t hours is, d = 100(t+ 1.5) .

To catch the mouse snake had to travel the same distance d in  t hours.

So,

200t = 100(  t + 1.5 )\\\\2t = t + 1.5\\\\t = 1.5 \ hours

Therefore, snake will catch mouse in 1.5 hours.
