Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the distance d use the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 5, - 8)

d = $\sqrt{(-5+5)^2+(-8-2)^2}$

= $\sqrt{0^2+(-10)^2}$

= $\sqrt{0+100}$ = $\sqrt{100}$ = 10

What is the area of this figure? <br>

polet [3.4K]

First, calculate the area of the square, which is 25

next, find the area of one half of the triangle by multiplying 2.5 and 4 (10), then dividing that by 2 (5).

since the two half’s of the triangle are symmetrical, just add 5 and 5 to get 10.

add the area of the triangle (10) and the square (25) to get the total area.

the answer should be 35

hope this helps!
