Answer:

a. 12

b. 15

c. (2, -2.5)

Explanation:

a. The points lie on a horizontal line, so the distance between them is the difference of their x-coordinates: 4 -(-8) = 12 units.

__

b. The length BD is the diagonal of the rectangle. Its length is given by the distance formula as ...

d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

d = √((-8 -4)^2 +(-7 -2)^2) = √((-12)^2 +(-9)^2) = √(144 +81) = √225

d = 15

The distance between B and D is 15 units.

__

c. The midpoints of AC and BD are the same:

(A +C)/2 = ((-8, 2) +(4, -7))/2 = (4, -5)/2 = (2, -2.5)

(B +D)/2 = ((4, 2) +(-8, -7))/2 = (4, -5)/2 = (2, -2.5)

Point (2, -2.5) can be used to locate the lake.
