Answer:
2. (1.5, 1.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
midpoint = (x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2
A = (-3,-3) and B = (6,6)
midpoint = (-3+6)/2, (-3+6)/2
= 3/2 , 3/2
You get a common denominator. It's 36. Then multiply accordingly to get 16/36-3/36 = 13/36. Hope this helps.
Call the width of the rectangle x. Call the length of the rectangle x + 2. The area of the rectangle would be the length times the width. We know this is 15 square inches. Set up the equation and solve for x.
(x +2)x = 15
x2 + 2x = 15
x2 + 2x - 15 = 0
Factor the quadratic equation:
(x - 3)(x + 5) = 0
x = 3 or x = -5
Since length can't be negative, discard the answer -5.
If x = 3, then the width is 3 and the length is x + 2 or 5. 5 x 3 = 15 which equals the area.
