Answer the questions below. 2.
(a) The area of a rectangular parking lot is 6370 m
If the width of the parking lot is 65 m, what is its length?

The distance of the given points is units.

The midpoint of the given points is .

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is:

.

So we need to find the x-difference and the y-difference.

After finding both differences we need to square each difference. (You should not get either square result to be negative.  If you did, you did something wrong.  You perhaps did not put your number in ( ).)

Then you add the squared results.

Final step, is to take the square root of your sum.

Let's do this.

x-difference:  5-4=1

y-difference:  -2-3=-5

Square the x-difference: (1)^2=1

Square the y-difference: (-5)^2=25

Add the squared differences:  25+1=26

Square root the sum: √(26)

However if you don't like this, you just use the formula I wrote above:

with and .

The distance of the given points is units.

The midpoint formula given the endpoints and is:

.

You are just averaging the x's.

You are just averaging the y's.

The midpoint is (average of x , average of y).

To find average of the two numbers you just add the two numbers and then divide by 2.

So let's do that.

The sum of the x's: 4+5=9

The sum of the y's: 3+(-2)=1

The average of the x's: 9/2

The average of the y's: 1/2

The midpoint is (9/2 ,  1/2).

Perhaps you would like to use the formula directly:

with and .

So (9/2 ,  1/2) is the midpoint of the given points.
