Why do you have to divide by 2 when solving for midpoint in geometry

If you take a stick and break it in half, it will break exactly in the middle. That point in the middle is the midpoint.

To break a line in half, you divide it by 2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint which divides a line segment in half, we take the average of the  x's. So x1+x2 since I have two terms we  divide that by 2. That's a definition of an average, so by adding together the x's and dividing in half ,we can find the x coordinate.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

C. The rudely disagrees condition has a mean of 4.16 and a standard deviation of 0.85 while the politely disagrees condition has a mean of 3.82 and standard deviation of 0.97

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data is  

                                          x`             Std. Dev      

R. disagrees                  4.16       0.854        

P. disagrees                 3.82       0.967        

From this data we see that the R. disagrees has a mean of 4.16 and standard deviation of 0.854

while

the P. disagrees has a mean of 3.82 and standard deviation of 0.967.

Same figures are given only in option C because

Rounding 0.854 gives 0.85

Rounding 0.967 gives 0.97

So only option C is the best choice.

C. The R. Disagrees condition has a mean of 4.16 and a standard deviation of 0.85 while the P. Disagrees condition has a mean of 3.82 and standard deviation of 0.97
