@jackthegreatest

OpenStudy (will.h):

1- Graph it using Desmos.com 2- use the Distance formula to find the length of the sides base and height. 3- use the rule of the area of triangle A = 0.5 * b * h Where b is the base and h is height

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

k thx

OpenStudy (will.h):

Tag me if u need additional help w that

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

@Will.H im kinda lost

OpenStudy (will.h):

Alright. Let's do it together. Which side represents the base?

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

im still lost?

OpenStudy (will.h):

The base is the bottom side of the triangle which is BC

OpenStudy (will.h):

Use distance formula to find the length of that side

OpenStudy (will.h):

I found it for u to make up time. BC = 3

OpenStudy (will.h):

Now which side represents the height?

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

A?

OpenStudy (will.h):

What A! The side is a 2 points line

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

im sorry i kinda suck at math ;(

OpenStudy (will.h):

No problem. We can find the height same way as we found the base.

OpenStudy (will.h):

But the height would take extra step find the midpoint of the base 1st and then connect it to the vertex through a segment

OpenStudy (will.h):

Doing that we will get the height equal to 7.6

OpenStudy (will.h):

Now we have both base and height

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

k

OpenStudy (will.h):

Apply the formula to find the area Area = 0.5 * b * h Substitute Area = 0.5 * 3 * 7.6 Area = 11.4

OpenStudy (will.h):

Helps?

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

kinda

OpenStudy (will.h):

The process is a little confusing.. Well alot. But u can make it easier as I summed it up above by briefing the steps.

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

ik

OpenStudy (brucebaner):
