@paki

Answer 12

area is 1/2 base x heigth

Answer 13

Turing we can't see the link because it belongs to an intranet (private internet)

Answer 14

ok well the points are on the problem

Answer 16

where it says triangle abc with altitude bd

Answer 17

Ok so you know the area of a triangle is the heigh * base / 2. You know the height. You can always draw the triangle, following the instructions. The height is 3. But you need to know the base too. You can get the base from the drawing, or use the characteristics of triangles such as |CD|/|BD|=|BD|/|AD|.

Answer 18

could you tell me the base since the height is 3

Answer 19

i dont understand the characteristics part

Answer 20

Please, I think this is an exercise where you draw the triangle. Draw an x and y-axis with equal squale. Put all the points as instructed and then connect them as ABC and BD. Just look at the drawing and you know the lengths.

Answer 21

idk how to do this

Answer 22

i tried graphing

Answer 23

how do you get the base?

Answer 24

Do you have paper with squares? Draw a neat cross. The horizontal line is called x-axis. The vertical line is called y-axis. Take the scale of 2 squares on each axis as 1. The right part of the axis next to the intersection of the two lines is all positive. To the left is negative x. Undeneath x-axis is y negative. Now indicate the point (2,1). This is the point where a pencil line through x=2 intersects with y=1. Do the same for the other points.
