Step-by-step explanation:
For a triangle the area is
If our triangle is isosceles and the 2 congruent sides each measure 4 and they include an angle of 40 degrees, let's say that the vertex angle is 40 and the sides that are not the base each measure 4. If we drop an altitude from the vertex to the base, we cut the triangle into 2 right triangles, with the vertex angle being 20 degrees and the hypotenuse being 4. To find the base, then, which is opposite the angle, we use the sin ratio:
and
4sin(20) = b so
b = 1.368
But we need the whole base, and that is only half of it. So
2b = 2.736
To find the height, which is adjacent to the angle, we use the cos ratio:
and
4cos(20) = h so
h = 3.759
Now we have enough info to find the area of the triangle using the triangle area formula from above:
and
A = 5 meters squared.
The given information are the coordinates of points H, Z and B. So, the first step to do is to plot these points on a Cartesian plane as shown in the attached picture. We can deduce visually that horse Z is closer to the barns than horse H. But, to further justify the answer, we have to provide the magnitude of the distance of horses H and Z to barn B. In this approach, we use the distance formula:
d = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²
Use the coordinates of the two points to know their linear distances. These are represented by the red and green lines for each of the horses.
Distance between H and B = √(⁻3 - 1)² + (⁻9-10)²
Distance between H and B = √(⁻3 - 1)² + (⁻9-10)²
Distance between H and B = 19.4165
Since the scale is 1 unit = 100 meters, the actual distance between horse H and barn B is 19.416*100 = 1,941.65 meters
Distance between Z and B = √(⁻3 - 10)² + (⁻9-1)²
Distance between Z and B = √(⁻3 - 10)² + (⁻9-1)²
Distance between Z and B = 16.4012
Since the scale is 1 unit = 100 meters, the actual distance between horse Z and barn B is 16.4012*100 = 1,640.12 meters
Comparing the distances: 1,941.65 meters > 1,640.12 meters. Therefore, it justifies that horse Z is nearer to the barn.
