Answer:

Use Heron's formula; see below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Heron's formula.

Let the sides of the triangle have lengths a, b, and c.

s = \dfrac{a + b + c}{2}

area = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}

Example:

A triangle has side lengths 3, 4, and 5 units.

Find the area of the triangle.

s = \dfrac{a + b + c}{2}

s = \dfrac{3 + 4 + 5}{2}

s = 6

area = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}

area = \sqrt{6(6 - 3)(6 - 4)(6 - 5)}

area = \sqrt{6(3)(2)(1)}

area = \sqrt{36}

area = 6

The graphs of ​ f(x)=2x+4 ​ and ​ g(x)=10−4x ​ intersect at (1, 6) . What is the solution of the equation 2x+4=10−4x ?
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

x=1 is the solution of the equation 2x+4=10−4x

Step-by-step explanation:

The graphs of ​ f(x)=2x+4 ​ and ​ g(x)=10−4x ​ intersect at (1, 6)

2x +4 = 10 - 4x

We need to solve for x by combining like terms

Add 4x on both sides

6x + 4= 10

Now subtract 4 on both sides

6x = 6

divide both sides by 6

x= 1

x=1 is the solution of the equation 2x+4=10−4x

Q # ..19 anybody help me?
Goshia [24]

The equation of the line with slope m and passing through the point (x_0,y_0) is

y-y_0=m(x-x_0).

Since m=6 and the coordinates of the point are (8,3), then the equation is

y-3=6(x-8).

Answer: correct choice is B.
