Math Problem Statement
Solve it
Solution
It looks like you've provided a set of coordinates and equations related to geometry, including triangles, parallelograms, and rectangles. To break it down:
- There are coordinates for different points:
- Triangle: A (–2, 5), B (4, 0), C (0, 0)
- Parallelogram: D (0, 0), E (4, 2), F (9, 2), G (11, 2)
- Rectangle: H (–6, –1), J (–2, –8), K (–2, –8)
The problem is asking you to solve for:
- A) Area of the shapes
- B) Distance between the following points: AB, DE, EF, TJ, JK, AC, FG, HG
I will solve each one of these step by step:
1. Area of the Triangle (ABC)
The formula for the area of a triangle with vertices , , and is: Substituting the points , , and :
= \frac{1}{2} \left| 0 + (-20) + 0 \right| = \frac{1}{2} \times 20 = 10$$ So, the **area of the triangle is 10 square units**. ### 2. **Area of the Parallelogram (DEFG)** The area of a parallelogram is calculated using the formula: $$\text{Area} = \text{Base} \times \text{Height}$$ We need the base and height. From the given coordinates: - **Base** = Distance between D and E: $$\text{Base} = \sqrt{(4 - 0)^2 + (2 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 4} = \sqrt{20} \approx 4.47$$ - **Height**: The perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides. From the coordinates, this is the vertical distance between any two horizontal lines (lines with the same y-value). ### 3. **Area of the Rectangle (HJK)** The area of a rectangle is: $$\text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width}$$ You can use the distance formula to find the length and width between points H, J, and K. ### 4. **Distance Between Points** For each pair of points, the distance is calculated as: $$d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$$ I will now compute the distances for each required pair: - **AB**: From A(-2, 5) to B(4, 0) $$d_{AB} = \sqrt{(4 - (-2))^2 + (0 - 5)^2} = \sqrt{(6)^2 + (-5)^2} = \sqrt{36 + 25} = \sqrt{61}$$ - **DE**: From D(0, 0) to E(4, 2) $$d_{DE} = \sqrt{(4 - 0)^2 + (2 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 4} = \sqrt{20}$$ I'll continue with the remaining distances now.
