⇛L = W + 5

⇛L × W = 150 sq. units

⇛W (W + 5) = 150

⇛W² + 5W = 150

⇛W² + 5W - 150 = 0

⇛[(W - 10) (W + 15)] = 0

⇛W = -10 , 15 (reject negative width)

☞ Width of rectangle is 10 units

☞ Length of rectangle is 15 units

The line AB had midpoint (2, 5).<br><br>A has coordinates (1, 2).<br><br>Find the coordinates of B.
sveta [45]

Answer:

The line AB, with A(Ax, Ay), B(Bx, By) and midpoint M(Mx, My) satisfying:

Ax + Bx = 2Mx

Ay + By = 2My

=>

2 + Bx = 2*1

5 + By = 2*2

=> Bx = 0

=> By = -1

=> B(0, -1)

Hope this helps!
