Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you would like to write the following in the math expression, you can do this using these steps:

a number ... n

eight less than four times a number ... 4 * n - 8

is less than 56 ... < 56

4 * n - 8 < 56

4 * n < 56 + 8

4 * n < 64 /4

n < 64 / 4

n < 16

The possible values of that number are less than 16.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ N(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{10})\qquad A(\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ NA=\sqrt{(6+3)^2+(3-10)^2}\implies NA=\sqrt{130} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ A(\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3})\qquad D(\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1}) \\\\\\ AD=\sqrt{(6-6)^2+(-1-3)^2}\implies AD=4 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf D(\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad N(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{10}) \\\\\\ DN=\sqrt{(-3-6)^2+(10+1)^2}\implies DN=\sqrt{202}$

now that we know how long each one is, let's plug those in Heron's Area formula.

$\bf \qquad \textit{Heron's area formula} \\\\ A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\qquad \begin{cases} s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ a=\sqrt{130}\\ b=4\\ c=\sqrt{202}\\[1em] s=\frac{\sqrt{130}+4+\sqrt{202}}{2}\\[1em] s\approx 14.81 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=\sqrt{14.81(14.81-\sqrt{130})(14.81-4)(14.81-\sqrt{202})} \\\\\\ A=\sqrt{324}\implies A=18$
