A right triangle has the following vertices Find the area of the triangle (7,-3) (4,-3) (4,9)
20 pnts

Area = 18 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the triangle, let's go through the following steps:

(i) Let the vertices be;

A = (7, -3)

B = (4, -3)

C = (4, 9)

(ii) The sides of the triangle are therefore,

AB, BC and CA

(iii) Using the distance formula, calculate the lengths of AB, BC and CA

(iv) Now that we have all the sides, let's calculate the area of the triangle using the Heron's formula.

Area =

Where;

p =

a, b and c are the sides of the triangle.

In our case,

let

a = AB = 3

b = BC = 12

c = CA = 12.4

∴ p =

p = 13.7

Area =

Area =

Area =  

Area =  

Area  = 17.999

Area = 18 square units

OR

To get the area of the triangle, we can use a much simpler approach.

Since the triangle is a right triangle,

(i) the hypotenuse, which is the longest side is CA = 12.4

(ii) the other two sides are AB and BC. These two sides will form the right angle.

Therefore, we can use the relation:

Area = x base x height

Where;

the base or height can either be AB or BC

Area = x 3 x 12

Area = 18 square units

PS: In a right triangle, the other two sides apart from the hypotenuse form the right angle.

you should at least use a calculater

step-by-step explanation:

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
