Example Question #71 : Expressing Geometric Properties With Equations

Find the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints of (10, 12) and (-4, -13) .

Possible Answers:

$\left ( 3.0, \quad -0.5\right )$

$\left ( -2.5, \quad -0.9230769230769231\right )$

$\left ( 6, \quad -1\right )$

$\left ( 7.0, \quad 12.5\right )$

$\left ( -14, \quad -25\right )$

Correct answer:

$\left ( 3.0, \quad -0.5\right )$

Explanation:

In order to find the midpoint between these end points, we need to recall the midpoint formula.

$\left ( x_{m} = \frac{x_{0}}{2} + \frac{x_{1}}{2}, \quad y_{m} = \frac{y_{0}}{2}+\frac{y_1}{2}\right )$

Where $x_{m}$ is the mid point for and $y_{m}$ is the midpoint for

Now we simply substitute values for $x_{0}$ , $x_{1}$ , $y_{0}$ , $y_{1}$

$\left ( x_{m} = 3, \quad y_{m} = - \frac{1}{2}\right )$

Now plot the points to verify the results.

Example Question #73 : Expressing Geometric Properties With Equations

Find the perimeter of the following polygon with the points (10, 14) , (7, -20) , ( 1, 8) and (1, -15) to two decimal places.

Possible Answers:

P = 389.4

P = 106.1

P = 116.1

P = 117.1

P = 88.8

Correct answer:

P = 116.1

Explanation:

In order to find the perimeter, we need to find the sum of the edges of the polygon.

In order to do this, we need to find the distance between the points.

Let's recall the distance formula.

$D = \sqrt{\left(x_{0} - x_{1}\right)^{2} + \left(y_{0} - y_{1}\right)^{2}}$

Lets say that

$\\p_{1} = \left ( 10, \quad 14\right ) \\p_{2} = \left ( 7, \quad -20\right ) \\p_{3} = \left ( 1, \quad 8\right ) \\p_{4} = \left ( 1, \quad -15\right )$

Here is a picture of the polygon

Plot1

Let's first find the distance between $p_{1}$ and $p_{2}$

$\\D = \sqrt{\left(10 - 7\right)^{2} + \left(14- - 20\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{\left(3\right)^{2} + \left(34\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{9 + 1156}$

$D{\left (p_{1},p_{2} \right )} = \sqrt{1165}$

Now let's find the distance between $p_{2}$ and $p_{3}$

$\\D = \sqrt{\left(7 - 1\right)^{2} + \left(-20 - 8\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{\left(6\right)^{2} + \left(-28\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{36 + 784}\\D=\sqrt{820}$

$D{\left (p_{2},p_{3} \right )} = 2 \sqrt{205}$

Now let's find the distance between $p_{3}$ and $p_{4}$

$\\D = \sqrt{\left(1 - 1\right)^{2} + \left(8- - 15\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{\left(0\right)^{2} + \left(23\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{0 + 529}$

$D{\left (p_{3},p_{4} \right )} = 23$

Now let's find the distance between $p_{4}$ and $p_{1}$

$\\D = \sqrt{\left(1 - 10\right)^{2} + \left(-15 - 14\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{\left(-9\right)^{2} + \left(-29\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{81 + 841}$

$D{\left (p_{4},p_{1} \right )} = \sqrt{922}$

Now since we have the distances, we can simply sum up each edge to get the perimeter.

$\\P = 23 + 2 \sqrt{205} + \sqrt{922} + \sqrt{1165} \\P = 116.1$

Example Question #74 : Expressing Geometric Properties With Equations

Find the perimeter of the following polygon with the points (0, 12) , (1, 4) , (-14, -4) and (-1, -19) to two decimal places.

Possible Answers:

P = 75.93

P = 65.93

P = 355.1

P = 76.93

P = 48.01

Correct answer:

P = 75.93

Explanation:

In order to find the perimeter, we need to find the sum of the edges of the polygon.

In order to do this, we need to find the distance between the points.

Let's recall the distance formula.

$D = \sqrt{\left(x_{0} - x_{1}\right)^{2} + \left(y_{0} - y_{1}\right)^{2}}$

Lets say that

$\\p_{1} = \left ( 0, \quad 12\right ) \\p_{2} = \left ( 1, \quad 4\right ) \\p_{3} = \left ( -14, \quad -4\right ) \\ p_{4} = \left ( -1, \quad -19\right )$

Here is a picture of the polygon

Plot2

Let's first find the distance between $p_{1}$ and $p_{2}$

$\\D = \sqrt{(0) - 1)^{2} + \left(12 - 4\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{1+ \left(8\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{1+64}$

$D{\left (p_{1},p_{2} \right )} = \sqrt{65}$

Now let's find the distance between $p_{2}$ and $p_{3}$

$\\D = \sqrt{(1) --14)^{2} + \left(4- - 4\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{15^2+ \left(8\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{225+64}\\D=\sqrt{289}$

$D{\left (p_{2},p_{3} \right )} = 17$

Now let's find the distance between $p_{3}$ and $p_{4}$

$\\D = \sqrt{(-14) -- 1)^{2} + \left(-4 - -19\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{(-13)^2+ \left(15\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{169+225}$

$D{\left (p_{3},p_{4} \right )} = \sqrt{394}$

Now let's find the distance between $p_{4}$ and $p_{1}$

$\\D = \sqrt{(-1) - 0)^{2} + \left(-19 - 12\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{1+ \left(-31\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{1+961}$

$D{\left (p_{4},p_{1} \right )} = \sqrt{962}$

Now since we have the distances, we can simply sum up each edge to get the perimeter.

$\\P = \sqrt{65} + 17 + \sqrt{394} + \sqrt{962} \\P = 75.93$

P = 257.5

P = 62.14

Correct answer:

P = 72.14

Explanation:

In order to find the perimeter, we need to find the sum of the edges of the polygon.

$\\p_{1} = \left ( 8, \quad 13\right ) \\p_{2} = \left ( 5, \quad -18\right ) \\p_{3} = \left ( -6, \quad -6\right ) \\p_{4} = \left ( -2, \quad -5\right )$

Here is a picture of the polygon

Plot3

Let's first find the distance between $p_{1}$ and $p_{2}$

$\\D = \sqrt{\left(8 - 5\right)^{2} + \left(13- - 18\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{\left(3\right)^{2} + \left(31\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{9+ 961}$

$D{\left (p_{1},p_{2} \right )} = \sqrt{970}$

Now let's find the distance between $p_{2}$ and $p_{3}$

$\\D = \sqrt{\left(5- -6\right)^{2} + \left(-18- - 6\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{\left(11\right)^{2} + \left(-12\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{121+144}$

$D{\left (p_{2},p_{3} \right )} = \sqrt{265}$

Now let's find the distance between $p_{3}$ and $p_{4}$

$\\D = \sqrt{\left(-6- -2\right)^{2} + \left(-6- - 5\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{\left(-4\right)^{2} + \left(-1\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{16+1}$

$D{\left (p_{3},p_{4} \right )} = \sqrt{17}$

Now let's find the distance between $p_{4}$ and $p_{1}$

$\\D = \sqrt{\left(-2- 8\right)^{2} + \left(-5- 13\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{\left(-10\right)^{2} + \left(-18\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{100+324}\\D=\sqrt{424}$

$D{\left (p_{4},p_{1} \right )} = 2 \sqrt{106}$

Now since we have the distances, we can simply sum up each edge to get the perimeter.

$\\P = \sqrt{17} + \sqrt{265} + 2 \sqrt{106} + \sqrt{970} \\P = 72.14$

Here is a picture of the polygon

Plot4

Let's first find the distance between $p_{1}$ and $p_{2}$

$\\D = \sqrt{\left(8 - -7\right)^{2} + \left(10- - 8\right)^{2}} \\D= \sqrt{\left(15\right)^{2} + \left(18\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{225+324}$

$D{\left (p_{1},p_{2} \right )} = 3 \sqrt{61}$

Now let's find the distance between $p_{2}$ and $p_{3}$

$\\D = \sqrt{\left( -7--18\right)^{2} + \left(- 8--10\right)^{2}} \\D= \sqrt{\left(11\right)^{2} + \left(2\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{121+4}$

$D{\left (p_{2},p_{3} \right )} = 5 \sqrt{5}$

Now let's find the distance between $p_{3}$ and $p_{4}$

$\\D = \sqrt{\left( -18--1\right)^{2} + \left(-10--14\right)^{2}} \\D= \sqrt{\left(-17\right)^{2} + \left(4\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{289+16}$

$D{\left (p_{3},p_{4} \right )} = \sqrt{305}$

Now let's find the distance between $p_{4}$ and $p_{1}$

$\\D = \sqrt{\left( -1-8\right)^{2} + \left(-14-10\right)^{2}} \\D= \sqrt{\left(-9\right)^{2} + \left(-24\right)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{81+576}$

$D{\left (p_{4},p_{1} \right )} = 3 \sqrt{73}$

Now since we have the distances, we can simply sum up each edge to get the perimeter.

$\\P = 5 \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{305} + 3 \sqrt{61} + 3 \sqrt{73} \\P = 77.71$
