Respuesta :

We start by drawing a rectangle around the triangle as shown in the diagram below

Area of RST = Area of rectangle - (area of triangle A + area of triangle B + area of triangle C)

Area of RST = (8×4) - [ (1/2×8×2) + (1/2×4×3) + (1/2×5×2) ] ⇒ we factorise the 1/2 out of the expression for the area of triangle A, B, and C

Area of RST = (8×4) - 1/2 (16+12+10)

To simplify such kinds of questions we draw a rectangle around the shape.

What is the length of any line on the graph?

The distance or length of any line on the graph,

[tex]d={\sqrt {(x_{{2}}-x_{{1}})^{{2}}+(y_{{2}}-y_{{1}})^{{2}}}},[/tex]

where,

d = distance/length of the line between point 1 and 2,

[tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] = coordinate of point 1,

[tex](x_2, y_2)[/tex] = coordinate of point 2,

The correct option is A.

Explanation

Area of ΔRST = Area of the rectangle - (area of ΔA + area of ΔB + area of ΔC)

Area of ΔRST

[tex]Area\ of\ \triangle RST = (8\times 4) - [ (\frac{1}{2} \times 8\times 2) + (\frac{1}{2} \times 4\times 3) + (\frac{1}{2} \times 5\times 2) ][/tex]

Taking common term out (1/2),

[tex]Area\ of\ \triangle RST = (8\times 4) - [ (\frac{1}{2} \times 8\times 2) + (\frac{1}{2} \times 4\times 3) + (\frac{1}{2} \times 5\times 2) ]\\\\Area\ of\ \triangle RST = (8\times 4) - \frac{1}{2}[ ( 8\times 2) + ( 4\times 3) + ( 5\times 2) ]\\\\Area\ of\ \triangle RST = (8\cdot 4) - \frac{1}{2}[ ( 16) + ( 12) + ( 10) ][/tex]

Hence, the correct option is A.
