The vertices of a triangle are A(4, 1), B(9, 1), C(2, 5). What is the area of this triangle.

Hey there!

Formula for the area of a triangle is (1/2)bh.

Base of this triangle is 5, height is 4.

Image attached.

Plug values into the formula:

A = (1/2)(5)(4)

Simplify.

A = (1/2)(20)

A = 10

Area of the triangle is 10 units².

Hope this helps!

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
