Question

What are the coordinates of the endpoints of the mid segment of triangle ABC that is parallel to line AB?

Answer 1

Answer:

$(4.5,4)$  and  $(4.5,6.5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the coordinates

A(2,7),B(2,2),C(7,6)

we know that

The mid segment of triangle ABC that is parallel to line AB is located between the mid point AC and the mid point BC

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

step 1

Find the mid point AC

we have

A(2,7),C(7,6)

substitute in the formula

$(\frac{2+7}{2},\frac{7+6}{2})$

$(4.5,6.5)$

step 2

Find the mid point BC

we have

B(2,2),C(7,6)

substitute in the formula

$(\frac{2+7}{2},\frac{2+6}{2})$

$(4.5,4)$

therefore

The endpoints of the mid segment of triangle ABC that is parallel to line AB are $(4.5,4)$  and  $(4.5,6.5)$
