If you draw a diagonal from upper left to lower right, you divide the figure into two triangles. One is a 3-4-5 right triangle (with area = (1/2)*3*4 = 6). The other is a 5-5-4 isosceles triangle.
The altitude of the isosceles triangle (upper left vertex to side 4) can be found from the Pythagorean theorem as
.. altitude = √(5^2 -2^2) = √21
So, the area of the isosceles triangle is
.. (1/2)*4*√21 = 2√21
The sum of the areas of the two triangles matches selection C.

Its too long to write here, so I will just state what I did.
I let P=(2ap,ap^2) and Q=(2aq,aq^2)
But x-coordinates of P and Q differ by (2a)
So P=(2ap,ap^2) BUT Q=(2ap - 2a, aq^2)
So Q=(2a(p-1), aq^2)
which means, 2aq = 2a(p-1)
therefore, q=p-1
then I subbed that value of q in aq^2
so Q=(2a(p-1), a(p-1)^2)
and P=(2ap,ap^2)
Using these two values, I found the midpoint which was:
M=( a(2p-1), [a(2p^2 - 2p + 1)]/2 )
then x = a(2p-1)
rearranging to make p the subject
p= (x+a)/2a</span>
The correct answer here is A

30% of 10,000 is 3,000, so the salesperson would have sold the boat for $13,000. The difference between the auction price and dealership price is 3,000. The commission is 25% of 3,000, which is $750.
