Answer:

The area of the triangle is 18 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we determine the lengths of segments AB, BC and AC by Pythagorean Theorem:

AB

AB = \sqrt{(5-2)^{2}+[6-(-1)]^{2}}

AB \approx 7.616

BC

BC = \sqrt{(-1-5)^{2}+(4-6)^{2}}

BC \approx 6.325

AC

AC = \sqrt{(-1-2)^{2}+[4-(-1)]^{2}}

AC \approx 5.831

Now we determine the area of the triangle by Heron's formula:

A = \sqrt{s\cdot (s-AB)\cdot (s-BC)\cdot (s-AC)} (1)

s = \frac{AB+BC + AC}{2} (2)

Where:

A - Area of the triangle.

s - Semiparameter.

If we know that AB \approx 7.616, BC \approx 6.325 and AC \approx 5.831, then the area of the triangle is:

s \approx 9.886

A = 18

The area of the triangle is 18 square units.

HELP MEEEE<br> How do you add and subtract functions?

Answer:

To add or subtract functions, just add or subtract the values at each point where it makes sense. If the functions are given by formulas, you can just add or subtract the formulas (it doesn't matter whether you plug in values before or after).

Marco had sales of $28,000. He makes a graduated commission of 4% on the first $10,000, 5% on the next $20,000 and 6% on anythin
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

$1,300

Step-by-step explanation:

commission on the first $10,000

= 4/100 * 10000

= $400

remaining amount

= $28,000 - $10,000

= $18,000

commission on remaining $18,000

= 5/100 * 18000

= $900

total commission

= $400 + $900

= $1,300

X = first place....and each place after that is 50 less
so 2nd place would be x - 50 and third place would be x - 100

so ur answers are : 
b. x + (x - 50) + (x - 100)
f. 3x - 150 ...u get this when u combine like terms

Okay, Once Again The Value Of X Has Been Lost & It's Up To You To Find It.
-  \frac{1}{2} (x + 4) = 16
1st. Divide Both Sides By -1/2, Dividing By -1/2 Is The Same As Multiplying By -2
\frac{ -  \frac{1}{2}(x + 4) }{  - \frac{1}{2} }  =  \frac{16}{ -  \frac{1}{2} }  \\
2nd. Subtract 4 From Both Sides
x + 4 = -  32
x + (4 - 4) =  - 32 - 4
3rd. Divide By The Coefficient Of X
\frac{(1)x}{1}  =  \frac{ - 36}{1}
4th.
x =  - 36

The 3rd Step Is Technically Not Needed, Because We Know The Coefficient Of X In The Equation Is 1, If It Was Any Other Value, Then It's Needed.
