True because MIDpoint is in the MIDdle which is halfway between two endpoints.

This is true. You can remember by it saying mid, as in middle.

Susan used 1/2 gallons of gas on Sunday and 3 5/8 gallons of gas on Monday. How many more gallons of gas did she use on Monday?

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: 3 and 1/8 more

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start by converting to the same fraction and making the second one improper, so 29/8 and 4/8. Subtract them to find the difference and you are left with 25/8 or 3 1/8 gallons.

There are two pizzas. Conor ate 1⁄4 of a pizza, Brandon 2⁄8, Tyler 3⁄4, and Audrey 4⁄8. Who ate the most of the two pizzas?

Semenov [28]

Not exactly sure, but just by my knowledge and common sense I'd say Tyler. He ate 3/4 so he ate most out of what was given to him.

Look at the formula for the area of a triangle. a = 1 2 bh which is a solution for h?

andrey2020 [161]

Answer: h = 2a/b

Explanation:

$a = \cfrac{1}{2} bh$

$2a = bh$

$bh = 2a$

$h = \cfrac{2a}{b}$

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints (5,-9) and (-2,-2)

QveST [7]

Another way to solve this is to use the Midpoint Formula. The midpoint of a segment joining points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is

$\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} \right)$

So the midpoint of your segment is

$\left(\frac{5+(-2)}{2},\frac{-9+(-2)}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{3}{2},-\frac{11}{2} \right)$

Perhaps it helps to see that the x-coordinate of the midpoint is just the average of the x-coordinates of the points. Ditto for the y-coordinate of the midpoint; just average the y's.
