What is the area of the triangle

Q(-2,5) R(4,5) S(-5,4)

A: 28.2

B:13.5

C:54

D:27

Explanation:

The figure attached shows the three points, Q(-2,5), R(4,5), and S(-5,4), in a coordinate plane.

The points Q and R have the same y-coordinate, then if you set them as the base of the triangle, the height from S to Q is the altitude:

Area of a triangle = base × altitude / 2

That answer does not match either answer choice. But it is the area of a triangle with the given vertices Q,R,S.

If your vertices are others, you can just follow the same procedure: find the base and the altitude and use the formula for the area used above.

zoom in on the bill of rights. the other side was just as divided: some antifederalists opposed the constitution only because it lacked a bill of rights, and others opposed it on other grounds and merely used the bill of rights as an excuse to campaign against it.

the berlin blockade was an international crisis that arose from an attempt by the soviet union, in 1948–49, to force the western allied powers (the united states, the united kingdom, and france) to abandon their post-world war ii jurisdictions in west berlin. in march 1948 the allied powers decided to unite their different occupation zones of germany into a single economic unit. in protest, the soviet representative withdrew from the allied control council. coincident with the introduction of a new deutsche mark in west berlin (as throughout west germany), which the soviets regarded as a violation of agreements with the allies, the soviet occupation forces in eastern germany began a blockade of all rail, road, and water communications between berlin and the west. on june 24 the soviets announced that the four-power administration of berlin had ceased and that the allies no longer had any rights there.
