(-3,7)(9,5)
midpoint formula : (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y1)/2
(-3 + 9)/2 , (7 + 5)/2 = (6/2, 12/2) = (3,6) <==
For this, we will be using the quadratic formula, which is , with a=x^2 coefficient, b=x coefficient, and c = constant. Our equation will look like this:
Firstly, solve the multiplications and the exponents:
Next, do the addition:
Next, your equation will be split into two: . Solve them separately, and your answer will be
(x - 8)^2 = 144
take the sq rt of both sides
x - 8 = 12
x = 12 + 8
x = 20
20 feet by 20 feet
