What is the area of the triangle in the diagram?

Mathematics
1 answer:
AlladinOne [14]3 years ago

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a triangle is

Area = baseline × height / 2

the baseline can be any of the 3 sides.

the height is then the perpendicular connection from the corner point opposite of the chosen line to the chosen line.

in this example the easiest approach would be to pick (x1,y1) to (x2,y1) as baseline, and the height would then be the piece of the y-axis from (0,0) to the baseline.

so, how long is the baseline ?

we need to calculate the difference between the coordinates of both corner points.

we have here an easy case, as both points have the same y value, so we only need to look at the difference in x.

baseline = x2 - x1

and the height is here simply (because of the special case) the difference of the baseline from (0,0) on the y-axis

height = y1

therefore, the area of the triangle is

Area = (x2-x1) × y1 / 2 = 1/2 × y1(x2-x1) = solution B

if the corner points and height are not so nicely aligned with the coordinate axis, then we need to calculate the distances by using Pythagoras to determine the "Hypotenuse" of the triangles created by the differences of the individual coordinates.

in our example

((x1,y1) to (x2,y1))² = (x2-x1)² + (y1-y1)² = (x2-x1)² + 0 = (x2-x1)²

and therefore

(x1,y1) to (x2,y1) = (x2-x1)

and we are back to our original solution.

SOLVE FOR f(-2) MATH HELP PLS
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation: Basically what f(-2) means is -2 = x. So you put in -2 wherever x appears. This would turn the equation to -3(-2) + 3 which goes to 6+3.

FOCUS ON HIGHER ORDER THINKING Work Area Katie said, "Negative numbers are integers." What was Explain the Error her error?
Sav [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Integers: Integers are the set of whole number and the negatives of the natural numbers, i.e, … ,-2, -1, 0, 1, 2,...

Rational number: A number   is said to be rational, if it is in the form   of p/q. Where p and q are integer and   denominator is not equal to 0.The decimal expansion of rational numbers may terminate or become periodic.

Irrational   number: A number is irrational if it cannot   be expressed be expressed by dividing two   integers. The decimal expansion of   Irrational numbers are neither terminate nor   periodic.

Now consider the provided statement "Negative numbers are integers."

The statement is incorrect as all negative numbers are not integers they might be rational number or irrational numbers.

For example: -2.5 is a negative number but it is not an integer. The number is a rational number.

Hence, her statement is incorrect.

She can say that all negative whole numbers are integers.
