D is halfway between A and B
so the coordinates of D are (2,2)
E is halfway between A and C so the coordinates of E are (-1,1)
now you need to find the gradient/slope of DE and BC using the formula:
SUB IN COORDINATES OF D AND E
therefore the gradient of DE is 1/3.
<h3><u>G</u><u>r</u><u>a</u><u>d</u><u>i</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>o</u><u>f</u><u> </u><u>B</u><u>C</u><u>:</u></h3><em>S</em><em>U</em><em>B</em><em> </em><em>I</em><em>N</em><em> </em><em>C</em><em>O</em><em>O</em><em>R</em><em>D</em><em>I</em><em>N</em><em>A</em><em>T</em><em>E</em><em>S</em><em> </em><em>O</em><em>F</em><em> </em><em>B</em><em> </em><em>A</em><em>N</em><em>D</em><em> </em><em>C</em>

therefore the gradient of BC is -2/-6 which simplifies to 1/3.
<h3>therefore, BC and DE are parallel as they both have a gradient/slope of 1/3 and parallel lines have the same gradient</h3>The length of both rooms is 10 meters and the width for the kitchen is 5 meters, while the one for the dining room is 9 meters.
<h3>How to find the length of the rooms?</h3>Both rooms have the same length but different areas and different widths. This common measurement can be found using the GFC or the greatest common factor. To do this, divide each number by 1,2,3, etc., and find the greatest common number (only integers are valid).
- 50: 50 25 10 5 1
- 90: 90 45 30 18 15 10 9 6 5 3 2 1
The greatest common number is 10, so 10 meters is the length of the room.
<h3>How to find the width?</h3>Use the formula
- A = lenght x width or width = area / lenght
Kitchen.
- Width: 50 / 10
- Width: 5 meters
Dining room:
- Width: 90 / 10
- Width: 9 meters
