X = mia's score

eric scored 10 more then mia....so eric's score is x + 10
isabella scored 16 less then twice mia's score...so isabells's score is 2x - 16

so the expression x + x + 10 + 2x - 16 is a total of all 3 people's scores combined

Can anyone help me find the coordinates (?,?) given that the shape is a parallelogram? (15 points)

xxTIMURxx [149]

The missing coordinates of the parallelogram is (m + h, n).

Solution:

Diagonals of the parallelogram bisect each other.

Solve using mid-point formula:

$$\text{Midpoint} =\left( \frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right )$

Here $x_1=m, y_1=n, x_2=h, y_2=0$

$$=\left( \frac{m+h}{2}, \frac{n+0}{2}\right )$

$$\text{Midpoint} =\left( \frac{m+h}{2}, \frac{n}{2}\right )$

<u>To find the missing coordinate:</u>

Let the missing coordinates by x and y.

Here $x_1=0, y_1=0, x_2=x, y_2=y$

$$\text{Midpoint}=\left( \frac{0+x}{2}, \frac{0+y}{2}\right )$

$$\left( \frac{m+h}{2}, \frac{n}{2}\right )=\left( \frac{0+x}{2}, \frac{0+y}{2}\right )$

$$\left( \frac{m+h}{2}, \frac{n}{2}\right )=\left( \frac{x}{2}, \frac{y}{2}\right )$

Now equate the x-coordinate.

$$ \frac{m+h}{2}=\frac{x}{2}$

Multiply by 2 on both sides of the equation, we get

m + h = x

x = m + h

Now equate the y-coordinate.

$$\frac{n}{2} = \frac{y}{2}$

Multiply by 2 on both sides of the equation, we get

n = y

y = n

Hence the missing coordinates of the parallelogram is (m + h, n).
