Area of a triangle=1/2(base x height)
Area=72, Base=8, Height=2x-3
Plug it in.
72=1/2(8 x (2x-3))
72=1/2(16x-24)
72=8x-12
84=8x
x=10.5

Area=1/2 times base times height
height=2x-3
base=8

area=72
72=1/2 times (2x-3) times 8
72=(2x-3) times 4
divide both sides by 4
18=2x-3
add 3 to both sides
21=2x
divide both sides by 2
21/2=x
x=21/2=10.5

Write the formula for a function d(x) that describes the distance between the point P and a point (x,y) on the line. You final a
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

d(x) = √[(x - 2)² + (3x - 1)²]

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given as

d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

So, the distance between point (2,0) and a point (x,y)

d = √[(x - 2)² + (y - 0)²]

d = √[(x - 2)² + (y)²]

But the point (x,y) is on the line y = 3x - 1

We can substitute for y in the distance between points equation.

d(x) = √[(x - 2)² + (3x - 1)²]
