A line segment with endpoints A = (3, 0) and B = (7,0). Then, plot all points C = (x, y) such that the triangle ABC has an area of 12 square units.
What geometric formula and theorem are needed to solve this problem?

C(0,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) find the length of the base of the triangle

AB = 7-3 = 4

2) find the the height of the triangle

A = (base x height)/2

A x 2 = base x height

height = (A x 2)/base

height = (12 x 2)/4 = 6

3) find the equation of the line that passes threw the points AB

the two points have the same y so the equation of the line is

y = 0

4) use the formula of the distance between a point and a line to find C

|ax+by+c|/√a^2 + b^2 = distance

x = 0  

y = 6

C (0,6)

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
