Area of a triangle with points at (-9,5), (6,10), and (2,-10)

Ann [662]

First we are going to draw the triangle using the given coordinates.
Next, we are going to use the distance formula to find the sides of our triangle.
Distance formula: $d= \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

Distance from point A to point B:
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{[6-(-9)]^2+(10-5)^2}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{(6+9)^2+(10-5)^2}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{(15)^2+(5)^2}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{225+25}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{250}$
$d_{AB}=15.81$

Distance from point A to point C:
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{[2-(-9)]^2+(-10-5)^2}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{(2+9)^2+(-10-5)^2}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{11^2+(-15)^2}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{121+225}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{346}$
$d_{AC}= 18.60$

Distance from point B from point C
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{(2-6)^2+(-10-10)^2}$
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{(-4)^2+(-20)^2}$
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{16+400}$
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{416}$
$d_{BC}=20.40$

Now, we are going to find the semi-perimeter of our triangle using the semi-perimeter formula:
$s= \frac{AB+AC+BC}{2}$
$s= \frac{15.81+18.60+20.40}{2}$
$s= \frac{54.81}{2}$
$s=27.41$

Finally, to find the area of our triangle, we are going to use Heron's formula:
$A= \sqrt{s(s-AB)(s-AC)(s-BC)}$
$A=\sqrt{27.41(27.41-15.81)(27.41-18.60)(27.41-20.40)}$
$A= \sqrt{27.41(11.6)(8.81)(7.01)}$
$A=140.13$

We can conclude that the perimeter of our triangle is 140.13 square units.

Maya spent her allowance on playing an arcade game a few times and riding the Ferris wheel more than once.

faust18 [17]

Answer:

Sample Response: To write a two-variable equation, I would first need to know how much Maya’s allowance was. Then, I would need the cost of playing the arcade game and of riding the Ferris wheel. I could let the equation be cost of playing the arcade games plus cost of riding the Ferris wheel equals the total allowance. My variables would represent the number of times Maya played the arcade game and the number of times she rode the Ferris wheel. With this equation I could solve for how many times she rode the Ferris wheel given the number of times she played the arcade game.

James determined that these two expressions were equivalent expressions using the values of x = 4 and x = 6. Which statements ar

GaryK [48]

Answer:

The expressions 7x + 4 and 3x + 5 + 4x = 1 are equivalent for every value of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expressions - 7x + 4 and 3x + 5 + 4x = 1.

1. When x = 2, both expressions have a value of 18. Let's find out:

1st expression : 7(2) + 4 = 14+4 = 18

2nd expression : 3(2) + 5 + 4(2) = 1

or 6 + 5 + 8 - 1 = 18

Values of both the expressions is 18, hence it is correct statement.

2.The expressions are only equivalent for x = 4 and x = 6.

This is incorrect statement as we just calculated above that the expressions are equivalent for x = 2. Hence, it is incorrect.

3. The expressions have equivalent values for any value of x.

Say, x = 0, then,

7x + 4 = 7 (0) + 4 = 4 and,

3x + 5 + 4x - 1 = 3(0) + 5 + 4(0) - 1 = 5-1 = 4

The statement holds.

Let's try again for x = 12,

7x + 4 = 7(12) + 4 = 88 and,

3x + 5 + 4x - 1 = 3(12) + 5 + 4(12) - 1 = 36 + 5 + 48 -1 = 88

Let's try again for x = 13,

7x + 4 = 7(13) + 4 = 95 and,

3x + 5 + 4x - 1 = 3(13) + 5 + 4(13) - 1 = 39 + 5 + 52 -1 = 95

Clearly, it holds for every value of x, whether it is odd or even. Hence, it is correct statement.

_______________________________________________________

Trick: 7x + 4 = 0....(1) and,

3x + 5 + 4x = 1

Rearranging the terms of above expression, we get,

(3x + 4x) + (5 - 1) =0

or 7x + 4 = 0...(2)

clearly both (1) & (2) are equivalent.
