To solve this, you simply need to calculate the length of each side of the triangle with the vertexes of A(3,4), B(-5,-2), and C(5,-2). The length of each side is simply calculated using the pythagoras theorem. Note that it doesn't matter what order you do the subtraction. The absolute value will be the same and if it happens to be negative, not a problem since it will become positive once you square the values.
So the length of side AB is
sqrt((3-(-5))^2 + (4-(-2))^2) = sqrt(8^2 + 6^2) = sqrt(64 + 36) = sqrt(100) = 10.
The length of side BC is
sqrt((-5 - 5)^2 + (-2 - (-2))^2) = sqrt(-10^2 + 0^2) = sqrt(100+0) = sqrt(100) = 10.
And finally, the length of side AC is
sqrt((3-5)^2 + (4-(-2))^2) = sqrt(-2^2 + 6^2) = sqrt(4+36) = sqrt(40)
= 2 * sqrt(10)
Finally, add all the lengths together.
10 + 10 + 2âš10 = 20 + 2âš10</span>
So it was 75 to 25 people. that would be decrease by 66.66666666 (forever) percent
Y less than 21 = 21 - y
Remember, "less than" indicates a subtraction with the terms in inverted order.
Hope I helped!
