Question

An architect is using software to design the interior of a rectangular room. On the floor plan, the coordinates of two consecutive corners of the room are (3, 15) and (18, 2). The architect wants to place a window in the center of the wall containing these two points. What will be the coordinates of the center of the window on the floor plan?

A.) (17, 21)
B.) (10.5, 8.5)
C.) (21, 17)
D.) (8.5, 10.5)

Answer 1

Explanation:

ignore the text n focus on the coordinates (3, 15) and (18, 2) and that "the architect wants to place a window in the center of the wall containing these two points."

so the window will be right in the middle of (3, 15) and (18, 2).

take the average of the coordinates: (3+18)/2=10.5 n (15+2)/2=8.5

ans is B. (10.5,8.5)

Answer 2

The answer is B.

Explanation:

The architect wants to place a window in the center of the wall containing these two points: (3, 15) and (18, 2).

The coordinates of the center of the window are those of the mid-point betwween the two points: ( (3+18)/2, (15+2)/2 ) = (10.5, 8.5)

The answer is B.
