James is fencing off a triangular region for his cats to play in. From the first fence post, he walks 13 meters in a straight li

ne and plants the second fence post. From there, James heads in another direction for 5 meters and places the third fence post. If the distance between the first and third fence posts is 9 meters, find the area of the enclosed region. Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

You can use Heron's formula to do this  

Area of triangle = sqrt[ s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) ]   where s = half the perimeter of the triangle = 
1/2 * 13+5+9 = 13.5
so required area =  sqrt [ (13.5)(13.5-13)(13.5-5)(13.5-9)]
                            =  16.1  square meters

horsena [70]

Answer:

$0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer multiply the amount of money earned by the percentage $14.98 and 5%

turn the percentage into a decimal. divide the number of the percentage by 100 5/100=0.05

multiply this by the amount of money to get 0.05*14.98=0.749. then round answer to two decimal places to get $0.75

Question 14
Reil [10]

Answer:

The system of equations has a one unique solution

Step-by-step explanation:

To quickly determine the number of solutions of a linear system of equations, we need to express each of the equations in slope-intercept form, so we can compare their slopes, and decide:

1) if they intersect at a unique point (when the slopes are different) thus giving a one solution, or

2) if the slopes have the exact  same value giving parallel lines (with no intersections, and the y-intercept is different so there is no solution), or

3) if there is an infinite number of solutions (both lines are exactly the same, that is same slope and same y-intercept)

So we write them in slope -intercept form:

First equation:

6x+y=-1\\y=-6x-1

second equation:

-6x-4y=4\\-6x=4y+4\\-6x-4=4y\\y=-\frac{3}{2} x-1

So we see that their slopes are different (for the first one slope = -6, and for the second one slope= -3/2) and then the lines must intercept in a one unique point. Therefore the system of equations has a one unique solution.

Please help!<br> what is it
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

105

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angle for R is supplementary to the 155 degree angle

(they add to 180)

180-155=25

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180

180-50-25= 105
