Answer:

yes, they are like terms

Step-by-step explanation:

This is since they do not have a variable. Examples: 7x and 2x are like terms because they are both "x". 3x2 and −2x2 are like terms because they are both "x2". But 7x and 7x2 are NOT like terms (the exponents are different), they are unlike terms.

Calculate the area of the triangle with the following vertices (3, -7), (6, 4), (-2, -3)

Monica [59]

Answer:

$\boxed{\mathsf{A} \triangle = \red{\dfrac{67}{2}u.a}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's follow up with the solution. Considering a triangle with the vertices $\mathsf{A(x_A, y_A)}$ , $\mathsf{B(x_B, y_B)}$ and $\mathsf{C(x_C, y_C)}$ , have a look at the representation in the cartesian plan.

From this representation we can say that the area (A) of a triangle through the knowledge of <u>analytical geometry</u> is given by the determinant of the vertices divided by two, mathematically,

$\mathsf{A} \triangle = \dfrac{\left| \begin{array}{ccc} \mathsf{x_A} & \mathsf{y_A }& 1 \\ \mathsf{x_B} & \mathsf{ y_B} & 1 \\ \mathsf{ x_C} & \mathsf{ y_C} & 1 \end{array} \right|}{2}$

So, applying this knowledge we're going to have,

$\mathsf{A} \triangle = \dfrac{\left| \begin{array}{ccc} 3 & -7 & 1 \\ 6 & 4 & 1 \\ -2 & -3 & 1 \end{array} \right|}{2}$

$\mathsf{A} \triangle = \dfrac{1}{2}\left[ \left.\begin{array}{ccc} 3 & -7 & 1 \\ 6 & 4 & 1 \\ -2& -3 & 1 \end{array} \right| \begin{array}{cc} 3 & -7 \\ 6 & 4 \\ -2 & -3 \end{array} \right]$
