- Mary Frances has a rectangular garden plot that encloses an area of 48 yd2. If 28 yd of fencing are purchased to enclose the garden, what are the dimensions of the rectangular plot?arrow_forwarda Argue that the midpoint of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equidistant from the three vertices of the triangle. Use the fact that the congruent diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other. Be sure to provide a drawing. bUse the relationship from part a to find CM, the length of the median to the hypotenuse of right ABC, in which mC=90, AC = 6, and BC = 8.arrow_forwardIf A=30 and BD=5826 , find the measure of CD .arrow_forward
