Answer: The area of ABC is 56 m².

Explanation:

It is given that in △ABC, point P∈ AB is so that AP:BP=1:3 and point M is the midpoint of segment CP.

Since point P divides the line AB in 1:3, therefore the area of triangle APC and BPC is also in ratio 1:3. To prove this draw a perpendicular h on AB from C.

\frac{\text{Area of } \triangle BCP}{\text{Area of } \triangle ABC} =\frac{\frac{1}{2}\times BP\times CH}{\frac{1}{2}\times AB\times CH} =\frac{BP}{AB}= \frac{3}{4}

Since the area of BPC is \frac{3}{4}th part of total area, therefore area of APC is  \frac{1}{4}th part of total area.

The point M is the midpoint of CP, therefore the area of BMP and BMC is equal by midpoint theorem.

\text{Area of } \triangle BMP=\text{Area of } \triangle BMC

21=\text{Area of } \triangle BMC

Area of BPC is,

\text{Area of } \triangle BPC=\text{Area of } \triangle BMP+\text{Area of } \triangle BMC

\text{Area of } \triangle BPC=21+21

\text{Area of } \triangle BPC=42

Area of APC is,

\text{Area of } \triangle APC=\frac{1}{3}\times \text{Area of } \triangle BPC

\text{Area of } \triangle APC=\frac{1}{3}\times 42

\text{Area of } \triangle APC=14

Area of ABC is,

\text{Area of } \triangle ABC=\text{Area of } \triangle APC+\text{Area of } \triangle BPC

\text{Area of } \triangle ABC=14+42=56

Therefore, the area of ABC is 56 m².

svlad2 [7]

El área del paralelogramo con base de 13 centímetros y altura de 8 centímetros es 104 centímetros cuadrados.

El área del paralelogramo, en centímetros cuadrados, es igual al producto de su base por su altura, ambos en centímetros. En consecuencia, el área de la figura geométrica es la siguiente:

A = (13\,cm)\cdot (8\,cm)

A = 104\,cm^{2}

The equation in slope-intercept is   y=0.625x+7.    


y = mx + b

where: 
m is the slope of the line 
b is the y-intercept of the line

The slope m of the line through any two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by:

The y-intercept b of the line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis. Since for point (x1, y1) we have y1 = mx1 + b, the y-intercept b can be calculated by:

b = y1 - mx<span>1.    hope that helped</span>
