The coordinates (abscissa and ordinates) of the midpoint of the line segment is the average of the abscissas and the ordinates, respectively. Therefore, the x - coordinate of the midpoint is equal to -20 + 20 or 0 by 2 which is zero. The answer is letter E.

Answer:

Option B is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the line segment joining points A\left ( x_1,y_1 \right )\,,\,B\left ( x_2,y_2 \right ) . It's midpoint is given by \left ( \frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} \right ) .

Midpoint is basically the centre point of a line segment .

Here, given points are \left ( -20,0 \right )\,,\,\left ( 20,0 \right ) .

Consider the following:

\left ( x_1,y_1 \right )=\left ( -20,0 \right )\\\left ( x_2,y_2 \right )=\left ( 20,0 \right )

To find: x-coordinate of the midpoint of a horizontal segment with the endpoints (-20,0) , (20,0) .

Solution:

x-coordinate = \frac{x_1+x_2}{2}

On putting x_1=-20\,,\,x_2=20 , we get

x - coordinate = \frac{-20+20}{2}=0

So, here we calculate the average of x-coordinates .

Option B is correct .

12345 [234]

Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{112 \:  {inches} \: ^{2} }}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of a parallelogram ( h ) = 8 inches

Base of a parallelogram ( b ) = 14 inches

Area of a parallelogram ( A ) = ?

<u>Finding </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>area</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>a</u><u> </u><u>parallelogram</u>

<u>\boxed{ \sf{area \: of \: parallelogram \:  =  \: base \:  \times  \: height}}</u>

⇒<u>\sf{area \: of \: parallelogram \:  =  \: 14  \: \times 8}</u>

⇒<u>\sf{area \: of \: parallelogram = 112 \:  {inches}^{2} }</u>

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
