The corresponding height of the triangle is 1.6 units

The formula for calculating the area of a triangle is expressed as:

A=\frac{1}{2} bh

  • b is the base of the triangle
  • h is the height of the triangle

Given the coordinates of the base BC of the triangle given as B(3, 2), and C(-1,-1). Using the distance formula:

D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\BC= \sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(-1-3)^2}\\BC=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}\\BC=\sqrt{25}\\BC=5units

The area of the triangle passing through the coordinate points A(-1, 1), B(3,2), and C(-1, -1) is expressed as:

A=\frac{1}{2}[x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2)]\\

Substituting the coordinate points:

A=\frac{1}{2}[(-1)(2-(-1))+3(-1-1)+-1(1-2)]\\A=\frac{1}{2}[(-1)(3)+3(-2)+-1(-1)]\\A=\frac{1}{2}[-3-6+1]\\A=\frac{1}{2} (-8)\\|A| =4 units^2

Recall that:

A = 0.5bh\\h=\frac{A}{0.5b}\\h=\frac{4}{0.5(5)}\\h=\frac{4}{2.5}\\h=   1.6 units

Hence the corresponding height of the triangle is 1.6 units

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

$6

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 7.5% of the sneaker price, by multiplying the price by 0.075:

79.95(0.075)

= 6

So, approximately, the tax will be $6

Water has a density of 1.00g/cm^3 per cubic centimeter. What is the mass of half a liter of water?
anygoal [31]

Answer:

The mass of half a liter of water is 500g, that is, 0.5kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is mass divided by the volume, that is:

d = \frac{m}{v}

Here, we have to be careful. Since the density is in grams per cm³, m has to be in grams and v in cm³.

We have that:

d = 1

What is the mass of half a liter of water?

One liter is 1000 cm³.

So half a liter is 1000/2 = 500 cm³, which means that v = 500

Then

d = \frac{m}{v}

1 = \frac{m}{500}

m = 500

The mass of half a liter of water is 500g, that is, 0.5kg.
