Hello I’m new here ! But I’m having trouble understanding how my teacher factored out the A from a-a(1.2^4)? And made it to A(1-

1.2^4)?
I attached a picture !

Thank you everyone :)

This is the distributive property:

<em>ab</em> + <em>ac</em> = <em>a</em> (<em>b</em> + <em>c</em>)

In this case, you have

<em>a</em> - <em>a</em> (1.2⁴)

and <em>a</em> is a common factor to both <em>a</em> and <em>a</em> (1.2)⁴, so you can pull it out as

<em>a</em> (1 - 1.2⁴)

Toya can run one lap of the track in 1 min. 3 sec., which is 90% of her younger sister niki's time. what is niki's time for one

Alex

Hello!

1 minute 3 seconds = 63 seconds

We must found out 63 is 90% of what number, using the percentage formula:

90 * 100 / 63 = 70

70 seconds = 1 minute 10 seconds

So, Niki's time for one lap is 1 minute 10 seconds (70 seconds).

What is the area of this triangle ?

oee [108]

Answer:

Area of triangle is 9.88 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the area of triangle

Given E(5,1), F(0,4), D(0,8)

We will use formula:

$Area\,\,of\,\,triangle =\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)s-c)} \\where\,\, s = \frac{a+b+c}{2}$

We need to find the lengths of side DE, EF and FD

Length of side DE = a = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

Length of side DE = a = $=\sqrt{(5-0)^2+(1-8)^2}\\=\sqrt{(5)^2+(-7)^2}\\=\sqrt{25+49}\\=\sqrt{74}\\=8.60$

Length of side EF = b = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

Length of side EF = b = $=\sqrt{(0-5)^2+(4-1)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(3)^2}\\=\sqrt{25+9}\\=\sqrt{34}\\=5.8$

Length of side FD = c = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

Length of side FD = c = $=\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(8-4)^2}\\=\sqrt{(0)^2+(4)^2}\\=\sqrt{0+16}\\=\sqrt{16}\\=4$

so, a= 8.60, b= 5.8 and c = 4

s = a+b+c/2

s= 8.6+5.8+4/2

s= 9.2

Area of triangle= $=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)s-c)}\\=\sqrt{9.2(9.2-8.6)(9.2-5.8)(9.2-4)}\\=\sqrt{9.2(0.6)(3.4)(5.2)}\\=\sqrt{97.5936}\\=9.88$

So, area of triangle is 9.88 units^2
