A sandbox has a perimeter of 21 1/2 feet. If the length is 5 1/4 feet, what is the area of the sand box?

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of length and width, so the sum of length and width is half the perimeter, 10 3/4 ft.

The width will be the difference between this and the length, hence 5 1/2 ft.

The area is the product of length and width.
A = length×width
A = (5.25 ft)×(5.5 ft) = 28.875 ft²

The area of the sandbox is 28 7/8 ft².

Find the endpoint:

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The coordinates of Point D are: (-5,-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for mid-point is given by:

$M = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

For the point (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

Given that

M = (-3, -6)

C = (-1, -4) => (x1,y1)

Putting the values of given points in the formula for mid-point

$(-3,-6) = (\frac{-1+x_2}{2} , \frac{-4+y_2}{2})$

Putting respective coordinates equal

$-3 = \frac{-1+x_2}{2}\\-6 =-1+x_2\\x_2=-6+1\\x_2 = -5\\AND\\-6 = \frac{-4+y_2}{2}\\-12 = -4+y_2\\y_2 = -12+4\\y_2 = -8$

Hence,

The coordinates of Point D are: (-5,-8)
