Is point A at 31/2, 3/12?

Answer 6

or 3,3?

Answer 7

3,3

Answer 8

at least that's what it looks like to me

Answer 9

I agree

Answer 10

so d(A,B) is sqrt 10?

Answer 11

and d(B,C) is sqrt 40?

and d(A,C) is sqrt 50?

@zzr0ck3r

Answer 12

d(a,b) is right
one sec

Answer 13

Thanks, zz0ck3r for helping me.

Answer 14

yep

Answer 15

all good so far

Answer 16

Nice

Answer 17

now make sure that d(c,b)^2+d(b,a)^2 = d(a,c)^2

Answer 18

and it does....
for the next part
\[area=\frac{1}{2}*b*h = \frac{1}{2}*d(C,B)*d(B,A) \]

Answer 19

That is 10.

Answer 20

correct

Answer 21

Nice! So for the last part, the first drop down menu gives the choice A or B and the second also A or B.
