Find the area of triangle jkl above if the vertices are j(2,2), k(3,5), and L(6,2)
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Area=6\:units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vertices (x_1,y_1)=J(2,2),  (x_2,y_2)=K(3,5) and

(x_3,y_3)=L(6,2). The area of triangle JKL is given by:

Area=\frac{1}{2}|x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2)|

We substitute the values to get:

Area=\frac{1}{2}|2(5-2)+3(2-2)+6(2-5)|

This simplifies to

Area=\frac{1}{2}|2(3)+3(0)+6(-3)|

Area=\frac{1}{2}|6+0-18|

Area=\frac{1}{2}|-12|

Area=\frac{1}{2}*12

Area=6\:units^2

Twenty-four minus 5 times a number is fifteen.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

5 times a number = 5x

24 - 5x = 15

-5x = 15-24

-5x = -9

x= -9/-5

x = 9/5

x=1\frac{4}{5}

or x = 1.8

HELP ME PLEASEEEE<br> I only know how to do this in division, not multiplication
Kipish [7]

Answer:

360 × 30

= (360 × 3) × 10

= 1080 × 10

= 10800

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first two blanks, we will have to find a pair of factors of 30 that will make this the easiest to solve. Lets pair up all of the factors of 30.

1, 30

2, 15

3, 10

5, 6

So now we have found all of the factors of 30. We can eliminate 1 and 30, since we will just end up with 360 × 30 in the second line. We could use 2 and 15, but we will end up with _____ × 15 in the second line, which would be more difficult to solve for than the other two options. Now, you should use any one of the final two pairs of factors. I would use 3 and 10, since I find it much easier to multiply something by 3 and 10 than 5 and 6.

Lets put 3 in the first blank and 10 in the second blank. We will end up with:

(360 × 3) × 10

Now 360 × 3 would be 1080. So the second line would be:

1080 × 10

1080 × 10 would equal 10800. So the final line and the final blank would be:

10800

So in order, the lines would be:

= (360 × 3) × 10

= 1080 × 10

= 10800

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.

1. M is the midpoint of LN and O is the midpoint of NP.
Reptile [31]
1. M is the midpoint of LN and O is the midpoint of NP. This makes the triangle MNO equal to half of LNP. Then you can get this equation
MO= (1/2) LP

If you insert MO = 2x +6 and LP = 8x – 20 the calculation would be:
2x+6= (1/2)( 8x-20)
2x+6= 4x-10
2x-4x= -10 - 6
-2x= -16
x=8

2. Centroid is the point that intersects with three median lines of the triangle. The centroid should divide the median lines into 1:2 ratio. In AC lines, A located in the base so A.F:FC would be 1:2

Then, the answer would be:
A.F= 1/(1+2) * AC
A.F= 1/3 * 12= 4

FC= 2/(1+2) * AC
FC= 2/3 * 12= 8

3. Since
∠BAD=∠DAC
∠ABD=∠ACD
AD=AD
The triangle ABD and ACD are similar. You can get this equation
BD=DC
x+8= 3x+12
x-3x= 12-8
-2x=4
x=-2

DC=3x+12= 3(-2) +12= 6

4. Orthocenter made by intersection of triangle altitude
A
BC lines slope would be (-4)-(-1)/1-4= -3/-3= 1. The altitude line slope would be -1, the function would be:
y=-x +a
0= 1+a
a=-1
y=-x-1
B
AC lines slope would be (-4)-(-1)/1-0= -3. The altitude line slope would be 1/3, the function would be:
y=1/3x+a
-1=1/3(4)+a
a=-7/3
y=1/3x - 7/3

C
BC lines slope would be (-1)-(-1)/4 = 0/4. 
The line would be 
0=x+a
a=-1
0=x-1
x=1

y=-x-1 = 1/3x-7/3
-x-(1/3x)=-7/3 +1
-4/3x= -4/3
x=1

y=-x-1
y=-1-1= -2
The orthocenter would be (1,-2)

5. 
a. Circumcenter: the intersection of perpendicular bisector lines<span>
b. Incenter: the intersection of bisector lines
c. Centroid: </span>the intersection of median lines<span>
d. Orthocenter: </span>the intersection of altitude lines
