Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

To begin, distribute the 2 to the x and -9.

So...

2 ( x - 9 ) = 10

2x - 18 = 10

2x = 28

x = 14

I hope this helps :)

Calculate the area of triangle ABC with altitude CD, given A (6,0) B(1,5) C (2,0) and D (4,2)

Elina [12.6K]

So hmm check the picture below

the height or altitude is CD
and the base is AB

how long are those? well $\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
A&({{ 6}}\quad ,&{{ 0}})\quad 
% (c,d)
B&({{ 1}}\quad ,&{{ 5}})\\\\
C&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ 0}})\quad 
% (c,d)
D&({{ 4}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})
\end{array}\qquad 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{(1-6)^2+(5-0)^2}\qquad \qquad CD=\sqrt{(4-2)^2+(2-0)^2}$

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (0, -3) and (-4,1).

kozerog [31]

The formula for slope is $\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

In this case:

$y_{2} = 1\\ y_{1} }= -3\\x_{2} = -4\\x_{1} = 0$

so...

$\frac{1 - (-3)}{-4 - 0}$

$\frac{4}{-4}$

-1 <<<The slope

Hope this helped!

Can someone help me please. I have to show my work.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. P = (width + lengh) * 2 = (23 + 10) * 2 = 33 * 2 = 66

A = width * lengh = 23 * 10 = 230

2. width = 7

P = (width + lengh) * 2 = ( 7 + 9) * 2 = 16 * 2 = 32
