Answer:

<h2>B. 20.5 square units</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 * Base * Height

For the given triangle, the value for the sides will be the distance between adjacent points on the triangle. Look at the attached file for the explanation of the diagram.

Using the formula for finding the distance between two points to get the base and the height of the triangle.

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

For side AB where A = (-3, -4) and B(2, 0)

AB = √(2-(-3))²+(0-(-4))²

AB = √5²+4²

AB = √25+16

AB = √41

AB = Height

For side BC where B = (2, 0) and C = (6, -5)

√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

BC = √6-2)²+(-5-0)²

BC= √4²+(-5)²

BC = √16+25

BC= √41

BC = base of the triangle

Area of the triangle = 1/2 * √41 * √41

Area of the triangle = 1/2 * 41

Area of the triangle =20.5square units

A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see, this is a quadratic equation and if you were to graph this you would see that it is a parabola that opens down because of the negative leading coefficient (-34). The maximum profit would be at the vertex, of the graph. Therefore, we need to find the value of "y" when "x" is the line of symmetry. We find this by  x=-b/(2a) where a = -34 and b = 1542:

x=-1542/(2)(-34)

x=-152/-68

x=152/68  

We put this value of "x" into the original formula to find out the value of "y":

y=-34x^2+1542x-10037

y=(-34)(1542/68)^2+1542(1542/68)-10037

y= -17483.5588235 + 34967.1176471 -10037

y=7446.5588236

Therefore, the maximum profit would be $7446.56.

Hope this helps!

An isosceles trapezoid is a quadrilateral with two congruent legs and a pair of parallel bases. Prove the base angles of an isos
Firdavs [7]
Check the picture below.

now, we know that the slanted legs are congruent, since it's an isosceles trapezoid, we also know that the bases are the parallel sides, so, the "altitude" or distance from those bases are the same length, for each of those triangles in the picture.

now, the bases are parallel, that means the altitude segment is perpendicular to the base, the longest side at the bottom, so, we end up with a right-triangle that has a Hypotenuse and a Leg, equal to the other triangle's.

thus, by the HL theorem for right triangles, both of those triangles are congruent, and if the triangles are congruent, all their sides are also, including the ones on the base.

FindFind the length of the crust(arc) of the pizza
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

29.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

converting 70 degrees into radians, we get=(7/18)×π

now we know,

length of the arc= {(7/18)×π} × 24 (radius of the circle)

= 29.3 cm
