Answer:
Use the distance formula on both points AC and AB.
<em>Distance formula is this</em><em>:</em>
<em>\begin{gathered}d=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2} \\\\d=\sqrt{(1--5)^2+(8--7)^2} \\\\d=\sqrt{(6)^2+(15)^2} \\\\d=\sqrt{36+225} \\\\d=\sqrt{261} \\\\\end{gathered}d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2d=(1−−5)2+(8−−7)2d=(6)2+(15)2d=36+225d=261</em>
Distance for AC is 16.16
Now do the same with the numbers for AB and get the distance of 5.39
2. To get the area, use the formula 1/2 x base x height
AB is the base and AC is the height.
1/2 x 16.16 x 5.39 = 43.55
the answer is 43.5
It can tell you the general pattern or that it is far from the other points in scatter plot.
The perimeter means the sum of all sides.
So, In pentagon, it would be: 5(15) [ With five sides ]
In short, Your Answer would be Option C
Hope this helps!
