Answer:
- B. The constant in the expression is 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given formula for the area of a triangle</u>
<u>Statements to confirm</u>
A. The coefficient of is b.
- False. b is variable, 1/2 is coefficient
B. The constant in the expression is 1/2
C. There is one term in the expression.
- False. There are 3 terms, one constant and two variables
D. There is one variable in the expression.
- False. There are two variables, b and h
<em>Note. </em>
<em>Assumed 1/2 is given in Option B, otherwise all statements are false</em>.
(3, -4) is on the line because the equation is point-slope equation where the point (x1, y1) is;
y - y1 = m(x- x1)
Answer:
9cm
Step-by-step explanation:
- Since PQST is a rectangle, ∠QST=∠QSR=∠90º. So triangle QSR is a right triangle.
- By the Pythagorean Theorem and that SR=6 and QR=10, we can say that 6^2+b^2=10^2. So, 36+b^2=100. And b^2=64 and b=8. So QS=8.
- Now we know that QS=PT=8.
- By the Pythagorean Theorem and that PR=17 and PT=8, we can say a^2+8^2=17^2. So, a^2+64=289. And a^2=225 and a=15.
- We know that TR=15 and SR=6 and TR-SR=TS, so 15-6=9.
