Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

15)  point D=(3,1)

for AB we can see that there is an exact triangle of 2 and 5

so AD =  [tex]\sqrt{2^{2} +5^{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{29}[/tex]  and 2(AD) = AB

AB = 2*[tex]\sqrt{29}[/tex]  ( this is an exact answer, leave it with the square root)

16) find CD  length  we know the points at each end so use the distance formula  P1=(-3,4)  P2=(3,1)

Dist. = [tex]\sqrt{(3-(-3))^{2} +(1-4)^{2} }[/tex]

Dist. =[tex]\sqrt{45}[/tex]   = [tex]\sqrt{9*5}[/tex]  = 3[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] ( exact answer leave the square root )

CD = 3[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]

17)  1/3 of the way along CD from D towards C is where the centroid is.. I just happen to know that from doing this too often.  :/

so that mean  [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] * [tex]3\sqrt{5}[/tex]   is the distance from D to the centroid or [tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]

also b/c I happen to know.. :/    c = [tex]\sqrt{1^{2}+ 2^{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]  off the top of my head I can see that the point (1,2) is our centroid for this object.. they made it really easy  ... okay..  relatively easy. .:D  

Centroid = (1,2)
