right, FARK why Didn't I see that! thanxuse perpendicular distance formula
I Did but i fu*ked it up, so I corrected it. So thats it ay? dam i thought it would be more complex.Draw it.
hey thanks man, but for c, how did you get distance for XY. i got sqroot (-1-3)^2 + (0-2)^2 using then formula sqroot (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2Here you go.

To sum up,
1. Basically you use the distance perpendicular distance formula to confirm their distances equal.
Then you have x and y, but you still need z.
2. Find the x intercept (z) by letting y = 0
3. Use the distance formula to find the sides.
4. Then the cosine rule to find the angle
5. Finally use the area of the triangle formula, 1/2 (x*y*sin z)

Note: It is a good idea to use a diagram to help you.
It is Sqrt of (-1-3)^2 + (0-2)^2hey thanks man, but for c, how did you get distance for XY. i got sqroot (-1-3)^2 + (0-2)^2 using then formula sqroot (x1 - x2)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
y am i getting sqroot 20 or 4.47?It is Sqrt of (-1-3)^2 + (0-2)^2
= 4
By the way, what textbook did you use for these questions?
Wait, I think I did something wrong.y am i getting sqroot 20 or 4.47?
X is (3,2) Y is (-1,0) WHAT am i doing wrong ? i even tried urs in this thread its same thing as me, the one u did on sheet is different but i don't know how you got it. i'm using MIF.Wait, I think I did something wrong.
