Question

Suppose the coordinate of P is 2, PQ = 8, and PR = 12. What are the possible coordinates of the midpoint of the given segment? The coordinates are PQ, PR, and QR.

So confused on how to do this.. please help!! :)

Answer 1

@Hero can you help me?!!!?

Answer 2

figure ?

Answer 3

@CGGURUMANJUNATH there's no figure..

Answer 4

Coordinates cannot be PQ, QR, or PR. A set of coordinates only represent one point, not an entire segment.

Answer 5

omg sorry! my question was: Suppose the coordinate of P is 2, PQ = 8, and PR = 12. What are the possible coordinates of the midpoint of the given segment?

1. PQ
2. PR
3. QR

and there is supposed to be a line above the letters! @Hero

Answer 6

1. Divide PQ by 2
2. Divide PR by 2
3. Add QP + PR, then divide the result by 2

Answer 7

Also, there should be a figure. I assume the segments are horizontal.

Answer 8

okay so
1. 8 divided by 2 equals 4
2. 12 divided by 2 equals 6
3. 6 plus 4 equals 10, and 10 divided by 2 equals 5

am i right? @Hero

Answer 9

No. You didn't exactly do it right. The first two are correct assuming the segments are horizontal. Are you sure there's no figure?

Answer 10

yeah it's a worksheet that my teacher gave me & there's no figure! @Hero
