Answer:

Length = 10.435 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be l

Let the width be w

Since the length is 9 inches more than half the width.

Then;

L = 0.5w + 9

Perimeter of a rectangle is;

P = 2Lw

Thus;

P = 2w(0.5w + 9)

Since perimeter = 60

Then;

2w(0.5w + 9) = 60

w² + 18w = 60

w² + 18w - 60 = 0

From quadratic formula;

w ≈ 2.87 in

L = 0.5(2.87) + 9

L = 10.435 in

Endpoint: (9,-10), midpoint: (4,8)

Alika [10]

Answer:

( -1 , 26)

Step-by-step explanation:

So since you need to find the other endpoint, you would follow these steps:

1.) $4 = \frac{9 + x}{2\\}$

2.) 8 = 9 + x ( you just multiplied the 2 to the 4 to get 8)

3.) -1 = x (just solve it like a regular equation, so just subtract 9 on both sides to get rid of it and that leaves you with -1 = x)

You took the x values of both points and put them in the equation.

And its the same for y

1.) $8 = \frac{-10 + y}{2}$

2.) 16 = -10 + y

3.) 26 = y (you added the 10 on both sides because the 10 was negative and that took the 10 out and so it left you with 26 = y)
