Answer:

62 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a number A is the positive distance between 0 and the number A (you can think this distance as the distance measured with a ruler from 0 to the number). For example:

|-2|=2 , |25|=25, |-3|=3, |-25.3|=25.3

Note that the absolte value is always positive.

The distance between two numbers P,Q in the real line is the absolute value of the difference between the two points:

Hence, the distnce between P=-50 and Q=12 is equal to

Complete Question: You are building a shelf that fits in a corner in the figure the entire shelf is XYZ each unit in the coordinate plane represents one inch find the area of the shelf.

Answer:

112.5 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shelf = ½*base*height.

The base is the distance between Z(0, 5) and Y(15, 5)

The height is the distance between X(15, 20) and Y(15, 5).

Therefore area of the shelf = ½*ZY*XY

Use the distance formula to find ZY and XY.

Distance between Z(0, 5) and Y(15, 5):

$ZY = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

Let,

$Z(0, 5) = (x_1, y_1)$

$Y(15, 5) = (x_2, y_2)$

$ZY = \sqrt{(15 - 0)^2 + (5 - 5)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{(15)^2 + (0)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{225 + 0} = \sqrt{225}$

$AB = 15$

Distance between X(15, 20) and Y(15, 5):

$XY = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

Let,

$X(15, 20) = (x_1, y_1)$

$Y(15, 5) = (x_2, y_2)$

$XY = \sqrt{(15 - 15)^2 + (5 - 20)^2}$

$XY = \sqrt{(0)^2 + (-15)^2}$

$XY = \sqrt{0 + 225} = \sqrt{225}$

$XY = 15$

Area of shelf = ½*15*15 = ½*225 = 112.5 units²
