A fish and wildlife management organization uses a GIS (Geographic Information System) to store and analyze data for the parcels of land it manages. All of the parcels are mapped on a grid in which 1 unit represents 1 acre. If the coordinates of the corners of a parcel are (-8, 10), (6, 17) and (2, -4), how many acres is the parcel? a. 150 acres c. 133 acres b. 125 acres d. 167 acres

c. 133 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: coordinates of the corners of a parcel are (-8, 10), (6, 17) and (2, -4)

To find: area of the parcel

Solution:

Using heron's formula,

area of triangle joining coordinates is equal to

Let

Area of triangle (parcel)

the answer is d

the answer is in the first quadrant, which make the y-int positive.

since the dots are going down, therefore the correlation is negative

i hope it is right.

step-by-step explanation:

given expression is .

now we need to simplify the given expression .

we know that square root is equivalent to the power 1/2. so that means we can take half of the exponents to get the square root of given expression.

expanding that will give a very very large number so let's keep answer in exponent form.
