Scientists notice two asteroids moving directly toward each other. Right now, they are 20 million kilometers apart, but they are
on a collision course. The graph represents their paths and likely collision point, with the origin representing the initial position of asteroid A.
What is the point of intersection of the two lines, and what do the x- and y-values of the point of intersection mean?

Answer:
a) The coordinates of the missing vertex = (7, 8)
b) Area = 18 square units
Perimeter = 18 units
Step-by-step explanation:
a) We know three of the four vertices:
A: (4, 2) C ______ D(?)
B: (7, 2) | |
C: (4, 8) A |______| B
To find the coordinates of the missing vertex we need to calculate the distance in the x-direction from point A to point B:
Hence, the distance of point D from point C in the x-direction is:
Now, to find the coordinate in "y" we need to calculate the distance in the y-direction between point C and point A:
Then, the distance of point D from point B in the y-direction is:
Therefore, the coordinates of the missing vertex (point D) are:
b) The area of the rectangle is:
The perimeter is given by:

According to given conditions, m+n is equal to 409.
Consider the diagram below.
In the hexagon ABCDEF, let
AB = BC = CD = 3;
DE = EF = FA = 5;
Arc BAF is equal to one-third of the circle's circumference.
Hence, ∠BCF = ∠BEF = 60°;
Similarly, ∠CBE = ∠CFE = 60°;
Let the point of intersection of BE and CF be P, BE and AD be Q and CF and AD be R.
∴ Δ EFP and Δ BCP are equilateral, and so Δ PQR is also equilateral.
Also, ∠ BAD and ∠ BED subtend the same arc and so do ∠ ABE and ∠ ADE.
∴ Δ ABQ is similar to Δ EDQ
Also,
and
On solving these simultaneous equations, we get AD = 360/49
∴ m + n = 409.
