POINTS F,G,AND H lie on a line. The of line segment FH passes through G. What term is used to describe G? @Calcmathlete

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It looks like there's something missing between the words the and of. Is there?

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

The bisector*

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

My bad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is nothing really more than a definition question. The term is exactly what it sounds like. Point G is in the middle of segment FH because it goes through the bisector right? What is that point called?

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

mid point?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup. Except it'd be one word, midpoint. :)
