As I have seen this question before:
Coordinates of historic village: (-4 1/2 , 5 1/2)
Coordinates of science center: (-4 1/2 , -1 3/4)
To find the midpoint, we use:
((x₂ + x₁)/2) , (y₂ + y₁)/2)
= ( (-4 1/2 + -4 1/2)/2 , (-1 3/4 + 5 1/2) / 2)
= ( -4 1/2 , 1 7/8)
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the yard be w.
Since the length is 18feet longer, l = w + 18
Perimeter for rectangle = 2(l + w)
2(l + w) = 72
2(w+18 + w) = 72 Divide 2 on both sides
(w + 18 + w) = 36
2w + 18 = 36
2w = 36 - 18
2w = 18 Divide 2 on both sides
w = 18/2
w = 9
Recall, length l = w + 18, l = 9 + 18 = 27
Hence width, w = 9, length,l = 27
Area of rectangle = l × w = 27 × 9 = 243
Area of rectangular yard = 243 square feet.
