Can a line segment have two midpoints ?

Actually, no they cannot. The midpoint is the single point at the very center of the line segment. Since no segment can have multiple centers, they cannot have more than a single midpoint. Sorry :3

Hope this helped!! :D

No it can't because a midpoint is a point in the middle of the line segment. A line can't have 2 middles.

The measure of a vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is 120° and the length of a leg is 8 cm. Find the length of a diameter of

Goryan [66]

ANSWER

The length of a Diameter is 3.714

EXPLANATION

The circumscribed triangle is shown in the attachment.

We use the cosine ratio to find the altitude of the isosceles triangle.

$\cos(60 \degree) = \frac{altitude}{hypotenuse}$

$\cos(60 \degree) = \frac{altitude}{8}$

Altitude =8cos(60°)

Altitude=4cm

Let the upper half of the altitude be y cm.

Then the radius of the circle is (y-4)cm

The upper radius meets the tangent at right angles.

From the smaller right triangle,

$\sin(60 \degree) = \frac{4 - y}{y}$

$y\sin(60 \degree) = 4 - y$

$y\sin(60 \degree) + y= 4$

$(\sin(60 \degree) + 1)y= 4$

$y= \frac{4}{\sin(60 \degree) + 1}$

$y = 16 - 8 \sqrt{3}$

y=1.857

The diameter is 2y

$d = 32 - 16 \sqrt{3}$

=2(1.875)

The length of a Diameter is 3.714
