Well, if it was out of 50, it would be 76%.
So the answer might be 50 questions total, but maybe there was 49 questions total.
I would probably go with 50 questions total.
Step-by-step explanation:
the midpoint between 2 points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is simply ((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2).
so,
1.
(9, 7) to (4, -3)
midpoint is ((9+4)/2, (7+ -3)/2) = (13/2, 4/2) = (6.5, 2)
2.
(-7, -5) to (2, 1)
midpoint is ((-7+2)/2, (-5+1)/2) = (-5/2, -4/2) = (-2.5, -2)
3.
now we have the midpoint and need the second point.
(4, 2) over (3, 4) to (x, y)
3 = (4 + x)/2
6 = 4 + x
x = 2
4 = (2 + y)/2
8 = 2 + y
y = 6
4.
(-2, 1) over (-3, 2) to (x, y)
-3 = (-2 + x)/2
-6 = -2 + x
x = -4
2 = (1 + y)/2
4 = 1 + y
y = 3
The base is 3+(x), altitude is x so substitute. Now we know the area of a triangle is base X height X 1/2. Substitute again! 1/2 (3+x)(x)=35. Multiply both sides by 2 to cancel out the 1/2. Now you have (x)(x+3)=70 and you have to foil out the left side x^2+3x=70. Subtract 70 on both sides x^2+3x-70=0. Find two numbers that multiply to -70 and add to 3. Solve (x+10)(x-7)=0. the x value is 7. since you can't have negative length values. Substitute 7 into 3+x for the base so you know the base is 10 and the height is 7.
