#1.3 Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints.

5 0

When we are looking for the mid point, we are looking for a point that is an equal distance from point R and S.

Since the x value has no change, we can ignore it.

For the y value, we want to simply find the difference between the points (7 - 1 = 6) and then divide that value by 2 (6 / 2 = 3).

You can then subtract that value from the higher Y value, where you will get 4.

Leaving you with the coordinate (3,4)

Hope this helped. There are definitely more ways you could find to solve this, but this works best for this problem.

If TSP and PSW are supplementary, and TSP is two times as large as mPSW, what is mTSP?

Burka [1]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{120 \textdegree}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for m∠TSP, we can use basic angle relationships and equations.

Let’s assume m∠PSW is $x$ °

We know that if two angles are supplementary, their angle lengths will add to 180°.

We also know that m∠TSP is twice as large as PSW. Since PSW is represented as x°, TSP will be 2x°.

We can add these two angles together and get 180°. Then you can solve for x (PSW)

$x+2x=180$
$3x=180$
$x=60$

So we know that x (PSW) is 60°. However, the question asks for the measure of TSP. We know that TSP is twice as large as PSW, so we can multiply PSW (60) by 2.

$60 \cdot 2 = 120$
