Question

callie wants to build a fence between her house and her neighbors house, midway between points a and b. how far away from point a should the fence be built? the fence should be built away from point a.

Explanation:

Step1: Find the distance between A and B

The distance between A and B is $28 - 13=15$ yd.

Step2: Calculate the mid - point distance from A

Since the fence is midway between A and B, we divide the distance between A and B by 2. So the distance from A is $13+\frac{15}{2}=13 + 7.5 = 20.5$ yd.

Answer:

$20.5$ yd
