Use the distance formula and/or the Pythagorean Theorem to find the area of the triangle.
1 answer:
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

You're correct, the answer is C.
Given any function of the form
, then the derivative of y with respect to x (
) is written as:
In which
is any constant, this is called the power rule for differentiation.
For this example we have
, first lets get rid of the quotient and write the expression in the form :
Now we can directly apply the rule stated at the beginning (in which
):
Note that whenever we differentiate a function, we simply "ignore" the constants (we take them out of the derivative).
