Let
be the length of the rectangle and
be the width. In the problem it is given that
. It is also given that the area
. Substituting in the length in terms of width, we have
. Using the zero product property,
. Solving these we get the width
. However, it doesn't make sense for the width to be negative, so the width must be
. From that we can tell the length
.
A point that bisects a segment would be its midpoint. This is a case where the vocabulary (bisect as opposed to midpoint) makes it harder.
To find the midpoint, we use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula is:
midpoint = (x₁ + x₂/2, y₁ + y/2). To find it, you add the x coordinates and then divide them by 2. Repeat for the y coordinates.
x: (-2 + 6)/2 = 4/2 = 2
y: (5 +1)/2 = 6/2 = 3
Thus the point B bisecting AC is at (2, 3).
