A $33$-gon $P_1$ is drawn in the Cartesian plane. The sum of the $x$-coordinates of the $33$ vertices equals $99$. The midpoints

of the sides of $P_1$ form a second $33$-gon, $P_2$. Finally, the midpoints of the sides of $P_2$ form a third $33$-gon, $P_3$. Find the sum of the $x$-coordinates of the vertices of $P_3$.

1.
Given any 2 points P(a, b) and Q(c, d), the midpoint M_P_Q of PQ is given by ( \frac{a+c}{2},  \frac{b+d}{2} ).

2.
Let the x coordinates of the vertices of P_1 be : 

{x_1, x_2, x_3....x_3_3}

the x coordinates of P_2 be :

{z_1, z_2, z_3....z_3_3}

and the x coordinates of P_3 be:

{w_1, w_2, w_3....w_3_3}

3.
we are given that 

x_1+ x_2+ x_3....+x_3_3=99

and we want to find the value of w_1+ w_2+ w_3....+w_3_3.

4.

According to the midpoint formula:

z_1= \frac{x_1+x_2}{2}

z_2= \frac{x_2+x_3}{2}

z_3= \frac{x_3+x_4}{2}
.
.
z_3_3= \frac{x_3_3+x_1}{2}

and 


w_1= \frac{z_1+z_2}{2}

w_2= \frac{z_2+z_3}{2}

w_3= \frac{z_3+z_4}{2}
.
.
w_3_3= \frac{z_3_3+z_1}{2}

5.

w_1+ w_2+ w_3....+w_3_3=\frac{z_1+z_2}{2}+\frac{z_2+z_3}{2}+...\frac{z_3_3+z_1}{2}= \frac{2(z_1+z_2+ z_3....+z_3_3)}{2}

=(z_1+z_2+ z_3....+z_3_3)=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}+\frac{x_2+x_3}{2}+...\frac{x_3_3+x_1}{2}

=\frac{2(x_1+x_2+ x_3....+x_3_3)}{2}=(x_1+x_2+ x_3....+x_3_3)=99

Find an expression for the perimeter of rectangle ABCD. Use the formula P= 2l + 2w.
natita [175]

Answer:

(b)

P = [4(4a + 3b]/(2a + b)

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2L + 2W

P = [2(5a + 4b) + 2(3a + 2b)]/(2a + b)

P = [10a + 8b + 6a + 4b]/(2a + b)

P = [16a + 12b]/(2a + b)

P = [4(4a + 3b]/(2a + b)

You have to find a common denominator 1st then add. So 16 is the common denominator the problem should be 2 7/16+1 14/16+8-16= 3 29/16 then you need to divide 29/16 you will have 4 13/16

Answer

x=2 and y=2√2

Step-by-step explanation:

\sin( \alpha )  =  \frac{2 \sqrt{2} }{x }  \\ x =  \frac{2 \sqrt{2} }{ \sin(45) }  \\ x = 4 \\  {x}^{2}  =  {y}^{2}  + 2 \sqrt{2}  \\  {4}^{2}  =  {y}^{2}  + (2 \sqrt{2 \: )}^{2}  \\ 16 =  {y}^{2}  + 8 \\ 16 - 8 =  {y}^{2}  \\ y =  \sqrt{8}  \\ y = 2 \sqrt{2}
