Answer:
The y-coordinate of F is 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the large triangle = 1/2 * base * height.
From the given coordinates:
The base of the large triangle = x coordinate of C - x coordinate of A
= 11 - 3 = 8 units.
It's height = y coordinate of A = 12, so
Area of large triangle = 1/2 * 8 * 12 = 48 unit^2.
Using a similar calculation for the small triangle:
Base = 10 - 6 = 4 and height = k units.
So it's area = 1/2 * 4 * k = 2k unit^2.
So from given area of the shaded part:
48 - 2k = 32
-2k = -16
k = 8.
