What is the answer to this problem??

The vertices of ∆ABC are A(-2, 2), B(6, 2), and C(0, 8). The perimeter of ∆ABC is units is? What is the area?

11111nata11111 [884]

we have

$A(-2, 2),B(6, 2),C(0, 8)$

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The perimeter of the triangle is equal to

$P=AB+BC+AC$

and

the area of the triangle is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}*base *heigth$

in this problem

$base=AB\\heigth=DC$

we know that

The distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

Step $1$

Find the distance AB

$A(-2, 2),B(6, 2)$

Substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(2-2)^{2}+(6+2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(8)^{2}}$

$dAB=8\ units$

Step $2$

Find the distance BC

$B(6, 2),C(0, 8)$

Substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(8-2)^{2}+(0-6)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(6)^{2}+(-6)^{2}}$

$dBC=6\sqrt{2}\ units$

Step $3$

Find the distance AC

$A(-2, 2),C(0, 8)$

Substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(8-2)^{2}+(0+2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(6)^{2}+(2)^{2}}$

$dAC=2\sqrt{10}\ units$

Step $4$

Find the distance DC

$D(0, 2),C(0, 8)$

Substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(8-2)^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(6)^{2}+(0)^{2}}$

$dDC=6\ units$

Step $5$

Find the perimeter of the triangle

$P=AB+BC+AC$

substitute the values

$P=8\ units+6\sqrt{2}\ units+2\sqrt{10}\ units$

$P=22.81\ units$

therefore

The perimeter of the triangle is equal to $22.81\ units$

Step $6$

Find the area of the triangle

$A=\frac{1}{2}*base *heigth$

in this problem

$base=AB=8\ units\\heigth=DC=6\ units$

substitute the values

$A=\frac{1}{2}*8*6$

$A=24\ units^{2}$

therefore

the area of the triangle is $24\ units^{2}$

A car travels 17 miles on one gallon of gas

zmey [24]

When x =170, y =10, when x = 187, y = 1, when x = 204, y = 12, when x = 221, y = 13, when x = 238, y = 14, when x = 255, y = 15, when x = 272, y = 16, when x = 289, y = 17, when x = 306, y = 18, when x = 323, y = 19, when x = 340, y = 20,

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Assume y is the gallons in the tank while x is the range of the car. We need to determine the equation relating the y to the x values in the given coordinates. x is the dependent value whereas y is the independent value i.e. the value of x depends on the value of y.

Step 2; As y increases, x also increases. For every extra gallon in the tank, the car can go another 17 miles. So with y as the amount of gas in the tank in gallons and x as the range of vehicle, we get;

x = 17y, this represents the relation between x and y.

To find the gallons in the tank, y = $\frac{x}{17}$ ,

For x = 170, y = $\frac{170}{17}$ = 10,

Similarly equating the values we get that when x = 187, y = 11,

when x = 204, y = 12,

when x = 221, y = 13,

when x = 238, y = 14,

when x = 255, y = 15,

when x = 272, y = 16,

when x = 289, y = 17,

when x = 306, y = 18,

when x = 323, y = 19,

when x = 340, y = 20,
