The x-value of a midpoint is the average of the x-values of the ends.
The y-value of a midpoint is the average of the y-values of the ends.

The x-value of the end at b is 20 and it's 18 at the middle.
x has decreased by 2 in the course of 1/2 of the line.
So it will decrease another 2 during the other half of the line.
The x-value at the other end, at a, then, is 16.

The y-value of the end at b is 4 and it's -2 at the middle.
y has decreased by 6 in the course of 1/2 of the line.
So it will decrease another 6 during the other half of the line.
The y-value at the other end, at a, then, is -8.

The other end of the line, at a, is at  (16, -8) .

The sum of the coordinates at a (p+q) is  8  .

Dante's Mom wants to build a fence around their yard. Here are the measurements of the yard. What are the measurements of the mi
timama [110]

Answer:

(a)The missing measurements are 9 feet and 16\frac{1}{4}$ feet.

(b)Therefore, the length of the fence is  97\frac{1}{2}$ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the yard is attached below.

(a)I have labeled the missing dimensions of the yard as x and y.

Therefore:

y+8\frac{1}{4}=17 \frac{1}{4}\\y=17 \frac{1}{4}-8\frac{1}{4}\\y=9$ feet

Similarly:

x+15\frac{1}{4}=31\frac{1}{2}\\x=31\frac{1}{2}-15\frac{1}{4}\\x=31-15+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}\\x=16+\frac{1}{4}\\x=16\frac{1}{4}$ feet

The missing measurements are 9 feet and 16\frac{1}{4}$ feet.

(b)Length of the Fence

The fence is rectangular shaped with:

Length = 31\frac{1}{2}$ feet

Width = 17 \frac{1}{4}$ feet

Perimeter of a Rectangle = 2(L+W)

Therefore, the length of the fence

=2(31\frac{1}{2}+17 \frac{1}{4})\\=2(31+17+\frac{1}{2}+ \frac{1}{4})\\=2(48+ \frac{3}{4})\\=96+\frac{3}{2}\\=97\frac{1}{2}$ feet
