Question

Day 2- Real World- Midpoint

Answer 1

Answer:

Point of the flower garden  R ( 11, 44 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let´s call   P (  3, 14 ) The center of the herb garden, and Q ( 7 , 29 ) the birdbath point

Differences in coordinates of these two points are:

x axis        7 - 3   = 4

y axis     29 - 14  = 15

Then the point Q ( x , y ) will be at:  Q ( 11, 44)

x axis    x = 11 because    7 + 4 = 11 means that the coordinate 7 is just halfway way between coordinates (x)  3 and 11  ( 4 above 3, and 4 below 11)

Reasoning the same way we conclude y = 44 in this case 29 is just halfway between coordinates  (y) 14 and 44 ( 15 above 14 and 15 below 44)

We can probe getting distance d₁  between P and Q  and d₂ distance between Q and R as:

d₁ = √ (7-3)² + ( 29-14)²

d₁ = √ 16 + 225

d₂ = √ (11 - 7)² +  ( 44 - 29)²

d₂ = √ 16 + 225
