NASA's space shuttle program in Florida will end in 2011. Which of these would be the most likely outcome of this event on the locations near the space center? increase in number of restaurants and decrease in unemployment

increase in tourism and decrease in use of space technologies in homes

increase in unemployment and decrease in profit made by local businesses

increase in profit made by construction companies and decrease in use of space technologies in homes

the answer is ! ?

18 units²

step-by-step explanation:

first let's find altitude bd using the distance formula

d = √((y₂ - y₁)² + (x₂ - x₁)²)

bd = √((0 - -3)² + (0 - 3)²)

bd = √18

given the placement of points a and c, we can denote that point d bisects segment ac.

we will call ac the base.

using the distance formula

ac = √((0 - 6)² + (-6 - 0)²)

ac = √72

knowing our base and our height, we can plug these into our triangle area formula

area = (b * h)/2

area = (√18 * √72) / 2

area = (√1296) / 2

area = 36 / 2

area = 18 units²
