RS => y - 5 = (8 - 5)/(1 - (-1)) (x - (-1))
y - 5 = 3/2 (x + 1) => slope = 3/2
ST => y - 8 = (-2 - 8)/(7 - 1) (x - 1)
y - 8 = -10/6 (x - 1) = -5/3 (x - 1) => slope = -5/3
TU => y - (-2) = (0 - (-2))/(2 - 7) (x - 7)
y + 2 = 2/5(x - 7) => slope = 2/5
UR => y = 5/(-1 - 2) (x - 2)
y = -5/3 (x - 2) => slope = -5/3
The median is the line joining the midpoints of the non-parallel sides.
Midpoint of RS = ((-1 + 1)/2, (5 + 8)/2) = (0, 13/2)
Midpoint of TU = ((7 + 2)/2, -2/2) = (9/2, -1)
Equation of the line joining (0, 13/2) and (9/2, -1) is given by y - 13/2 = (-1 - 13/2)/(9/2) x
y - 13/2 = (-15/2)/(9/2) x
y - 13/2 = -15/9x
18y - 117 = -30x
30x + 18y = 117
Answer:
Likely
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>A = Area of First Rectangle </em></u>
<u><em>B = Area of Second Rectangle </em></u>
<u><em>w = Width</em></u>
<u></u>
12(w)=320+B (1st Equation)
8(w) = B (2nd Equation)
w=B/8 <em><u>(Plug this value of w into the first equation)</u></em>
12B/8 = 320 +B <u><em>(you get this)</em></u>
12B= 2560 + 8B <u><em>(Simplify)</em></u>
4B = 2560
B =640 <em><u>plug this value into the 2nd equation</u></em>
8(w) = 640
w = 80
<em>To Test This</em>
12x80 = 960
8x80 = 640
<h3>960 - 640 = 320
<u><em>Therefore the answer is correct the width is 80</em></u></h3>
