Boo.
1) D, yes. I like that one best too! 2) C, yep!
3 is right
Oh, sure, I scroll down to tell you and someone beat me to it! =P
5 is right
4 I don't know, I haven't taken geometry in too long
OK, for 4... A(4a, 4b), B(4c, 4b) are the top because they share y values... (0,0) and C(4d, 0) are the botom, So the ends of the midline are... \[\left(\frac{4a+0}{2},\frac{4b+0}{2}\right), \; \left(\frac{4c+4d}{2},\frac{4b+0}{2}\right)\] Now.... midpoint of that...
No idea o.o
\[\left(\left[\frac{4a+0}{2}+\frac{4c+4d}{2}\right]\cdot \frac{1}{2},\left[\frac{4b+0}{2}+,\frac{4b+0}{2}\right]\cdot \frac{1}{2} \right)\]
OK! Now to simplify... and yes, I am doing this on the fly...
\[\left(\left[\frac{4a+4c+4d}{2}\right]\cdot \frac{1}{2},\left[\frac{4b+4b}{2}\right]\cdot \frac{1}{2} \right)\] \[\left(\frac{4a+4c+4d}{4},\frac{4b+4b}{4}\right)\]
AH HA! Now that looks like something usable.
Care to revise your guess?
YEP! What I did is called the midpoint formula. I had to do it three times. The midpoint formula says this: To find the midpoint, take the two ends and average them. So: \[(x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)\implies \left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)\]
Now, if you think of the middle as half way, the over 2 part makes sense.
3 was right, like Peter said.
Yah, yah. I am with Peter on 5 too.
Awesome, thank you! Might have more to do in a bit if you can xD
I'll be here for an hour and a half
So all the funky points made of letters you got. Only one you had trouble with was the midpoint, or half way. It is an average problem.... and that is a pun. (Midpoint is the average of the points.)
I can help a bit more, but I need to head home and shower! I am still at work. Had to run some new network cable and we do not do that when people use the office.
