What is the abscissa of the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are (5√2,2√3) and (√2,2√3)
2 answers:
Let
A------> <span>(5√2,2√3)
B------> </span><span>(√2,2√3)
we know that
</span>the abscissa<span> and the ordinate are respectively the first and second coordinate of a point in a coordinate system</span>
the abscissa is the coordinate x<span>
step 1
find the midpoint
ABx------> midpoint AB in the coordinate x
</span>ABy------> midpoint AB in the coordinate y
<span>
ABx=[5</span>√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
