Can someone please help me! Big ideas 8.4 number 16

============================================================

Explanation:

It might help to draw it out. See the diagram below.

The base is JK which is 7 units long. I'm picking this as the base because this segment is completely horizontal.

Notice how the base JK spans from x = -3 to x = 4, which we can use subtraction and absolute value to get |J-K| = |-3-4| = 7.

The height is always perpendicular to the base. If the base is JK = 7, then the height is the vertical distance from K (or J) to L. This vertical distance is also 7 units. Subtract the y coordinates and apply absolute value. The base and height aren't always the same number.

Now we can find the area of the triangle

area = base*height/2

area = 7*7/2

area = 49/2

area = 24.5 square units

15

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to solve it and find the product:

-13 × (-5)

solving the given expression in the standard order of solving a mathematical expression, beginning with the opening of brackets and then multiplying the terms and changing their signs.

-3 × -5 = 15 (answer is positive because when negative is multiplied with negative, it gives a positive answer)

the answer is 31.27mph
