A camp ground consists of 12 square campsites arranged in a line along a beach. The distance from the edge of a campsite to the

water at the end of the beach is 5 yards. The area of the campground, including the beach, is 1,248 square yards. What is the width of one campsite/

X=side length of a campsite
12x(5+x)=1248  because each campsite has a length of x and there are 12                           and from the top of the camp to the water is the 5 yds + a                             side length and LW=1248
60x+12x^2=1248
12x^2+60x-1248=0
x^2+5-14=0
(x+7)(x-2)=0
x+7=0 or x-2=0
x=-7 or x=2
x=2 because width can't be negative
the width of one campsite is 2 yds

What is the distance from the point (a, −b, −4) to the origin?
laiz [17]

Answer:

  \sqrt{a^2+b^2+16}

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance (d) between two points in 3 dimensions is ...

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)² +(z2 -z1)²)

Then the distance between (a, -b, -4) and (0, 0, 0) is ...

  d = √((a -0)² +(-b -0)² +(-4 -0)²)

  = √(a² +b² +16)

given the midpoint and one endpoint of a line segment, find the other endpoint. endpoint: (4, 10) midpoint: (5, 9)
GalinKa [24]
The answer is (6, 8).

EXPLANATION

If you are given two numbers, you can find the number exactly between them by averaging them, by adding them together and dividing by two. The Midpoint Formula works exactly the same way. If you need to find the point that is exactly halfway between two given points, just average the x-values and the y-values.

That is:

( \frac{x1 + x2}{2}. \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )

But since the midpoint is given, we'll work this out in a different way.

To find the x of the other endpoint or x2, we'll have first to plug-in the given x values in the midpoint and x1.

So,

m = \frac{x1 + x2}{2} \\ 5= \frac{4 + x2}{2}\\ 10= 4 + x2 \\ x2 = 6

Now, let's proceed to y2.

m = \frac{y1 + y2}{2} \\ 9= \frac{10 + y2}{2}\\ 18= 10 + y2 \\ y2 = 8

So now you have the x and y values of the other endpoint: (6,8).
