Answer Key (For Teachers)

  1. Answer: (2,1)(2, 1).
    Working: Average of coordinates.
  2. Answer: 66.
    Working: 1243\tfrac{1}{2}\cdot 4\cdot 3.
  3. Answer: 2525.
    Working: 625\sqrt{625}.
  4. Answer: 55.
    Working: 9+16\sqrt{9+16}.
  5. Answer: (3,5)(3, 5).
    Working: Apply formula.
  6. Answer: Collinear.
    Working: Area = 00.
  7. Answer: (3,5)(3, 5).
    Working: Average vertices.
  8. Answer: 1:21:2.
    Working: Set k:1k:1, solve.
  9. Answer: k=11±332k = \tfrac{11\pm\sqrt{33}}{2}.
    Working: Area =0= 0: k(k5)+2(53)+6(3k)=0k(k-5) + 2(5-3) + 6(3-k) = 0.k211k+22=0k^2 - 11k + 22 = 0.
  10. Answer: (7,0)(-7, 0).
    Working: Let point (x,0)(x, 0): (x2)2+25=(x+2)2+81(x-2)^2 + 25 = (x+2)^2 + 81.4x+25=4x+81x=7-4x + 25 = 4x + 81 \Rightarrow x = -7.
