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

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is 2 people and it costs 12 dollars you will first subtract 2 dolars for each person leaving you with 10 dollars. After that you will divide 10 by 2 for the miles because each mile costs 2 bucks. that will get you to 5 miles

A triangle with vertices A(0,0), B(6,0), and C(0,9) is rotated 360 about the y-axis. What is the volume of the figure?
Luden [163]

Given:

A triangle with vertices A(0,0), B(6,0), and C(0,9) is rotated 360 about the y-axis.

To find:

The volume of the figure.

Solution:

Points A(0,0) and C(0,9) lies on the y-axis. Length of AC is 9 units.

Points A(0,0) and B(6,0) lies on the x-axis. Length of AB is 6 units.

If a triangle with vertices A(0,0), B(6,0), and C(0,9) is rotated 360 about the y-axis, then it will form a cone with radius 6 units and height 9 units.

Volume of a cone is

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

where, r is radius of the base and h is vertical height of the cone.

Putting r=6 and h=9, we get

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi (6)^2(9)

V=\pi (36)(3)

V=108\pi

Therefore, the volume of the figure is 108\pi sq. units.
