Answer:

Area of the rectangle(A) is given by:

A =lw

where, l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.

As per the statement:

A rectangle has an area of 72 in²

⇒A = 72 in²

then;

lw = 72

It is given that:

The length and the width of the rectangle are changed by a scale factor of 3.5.

Length of new rectangle become = 3.5l

Width of new rectangle become = 3.5 w

then;

Area of new rectangle  = (Length of new rectangle)(Width of new rectangle)

⇒Area of new rectangle = (3.5l)(3.5w) =12.25(lw)

Substitute the given values we have;

\text{Area of new rectangle} = 12.25 \cdot 72 = 882 in^2

Therefore, the area of the new rectangle is, 882 in²

Find the midpoint of the segment between the points (17,−11) and (−14,−16)
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

(1.5, -13.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint Formula: (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )

Simply plug in our coordinates into the formula:

x = (17 - 14)/2

x = 3/2

y = (-11 - 16)/2

y = -27/2
