Hi, How are you? i hope your well <3
A perpendicular bisector forms two right angles and splits the line in two equal parts.
The altitude does create two right angles, but doesn't have to create two equal parts.
Most graphing calculators will do weighted averages pretty easily. It is mostly a matter of data entry.
mx = -2
my = 10
(x, y) = (mx, my)/10 = (-0.2, 1)
triangle on right is the same as the triangle on the left
use pythagorean theorem
hypotenuse will give to the sides of the rectangle
a^2 + b^2 = hypotenuse squared
10.4^2 = 108.16
15.3^2 = 234.09
342.25 = hypotenuse squared
take the square root in both sides
hypotenuse = the square root of 342.25 =
18.5
add up the areas of the 2 triangles and rectangle
triangle area is 1/2 times 10.4 times 15.3 =
79.56
2 triangles areas are 159.12
rectangle area is 18.5 × 7 = 129.5
159.12 + 129.5 = 288.62
answer 1 = 288.62
second question:
to get 1 side take the
square root of 702.25 which is
26.5
to get the perimeter
multiply 26.5 by 4 which is
106
answer 2 is choice B 106
