help me plz someone?
|dw:1478823156831:dw| Use the distance formula to find the length and the width!
In case you don't got it memorized. |dw:1478823220224:dw|
@563blackghost I see you finally figured out the magic!!!!! The most useful thing ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simply find the distance between `(-2,3) and (2,-3)` and `(-2,3) and (1,5)` and once each are found multiply :)
Yes I did @steve816 :)
\(\huge\bf{d=\sqrt{(-3-3)^{2}+(2+2)^{2}}}\) \(\huge\bf{d=\sqrt{(5-3)^{2} + (1+2)^{2}}}\)
Find each and then multiply.
kk wait
i got 22 and 17?
Not quite. First simplify parathesis. \(\huge\bf{d=\sqrt{(-6)^{2}+(4)^{2}}}\) Apply power then add the two. `Note: -a^n equals a^n, so -6^2 equals 6^2` \(\huge\bf{d=\sqrt{52}}\) Factor out prime, 52 is made from 2^3 and 13. \(\huge\bf{d=2\sqrt{13}}\)
For the second one we follow a similar process. \(\huge\bf{d=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+(3)^{2}}}\) Simplify exponents and add. \(\huge\bf{d=\sqrt{13}}\)
Now we multiply the two. \(\huge\bf{2\sqrt {13} \times \sqrt {13} = \color{red}{area}}\)
Or to do this simplier we leave the first distance in its not simplified form. \(\huge\bf{\sqrt{52} \times \sqrt{13} = \sqrt{52 \times 13} \rightarrow \sqrt{676}}\) \(\huge\bf{\sqrt{676} = \color{red}{answer}}\)
Do you have a cal to simplify \(\large\bf{\sqrt{676}}\) ?
Alternatively, can you factor 676 so that at least one of your factors is a perfect square? Supposing that that perfect square were 36; the square root of that would be 6.
