Segment yw is an altitude of triangle xyz. find the area of the triangle. z=(5,4), w=(5,-1), y=(8,-1), x=(5,-3)
a)7.5
b)9.5
c)10.5
d)15

C)10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using distance formula,

Height of triangle =YW=

Base of triangle (side opposite to the vertex of triangle from which for altitude is formed)XZ=

Thus the area of the triangle=

Hence, the area of triangle = 10.5 units

correct answer is infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

solving the above equation:

4x + 6 = -4 +4x +10

combining like terms

4x -4x = -4+10-6

0=0

since both sides are 0=0, we end up into true statement it means it has infinite many solutions.

so correct answer is infinitely many solutions
