What is the abscissa of the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are (5√2,2√3) and (√2,2√3)
Question
Answer:
letA------> (5√2,2√3)
B------> (√2,2√3)
we know that
the abscissa and the ordinate are respectively the first and second coordinate of a point in a coordinate system
the abscissa is the coordinate x
step 1
find the midpoint
ABx------> midpoint AB in the coordinate x
ABy------> midpoint AB in the coordinate y
ABx=[5√2+√2]/2------> 6√2/2-----> 3√2
ABy=[2√3+2√3]/2------> 4√3/2-----> 2√3
the midpoint AB is (3√2,2√3)
the answer is
the abscissa of the midpoint of the line segment is 3√2
see the attached figure
