@helpme1.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help would really be appreciated I've been stuck on this for hours

OpenStudy (shamil98):

Oh, wait that's the length.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can do the midpoint, but what are the letters in the coordinates

OpenStudy (shamil98):

Those are just variables there to represent numbers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how can i find the xy?

OpenStudy (shamil98):

the variables in this are d e f g.

OpenStudy (shamil98):

The midsegment below can be found by calculating the lengths of the bases. calculating the sum of the bases . and Dividing the sum by 2

4e+4g divided by two is the answer? im confused on what to do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can give a metal to whoever can help me @shamil98

OpenStudy (phi):

First step is find the midpoint between (0,0) and pt A to do that find the average of the x values (first "number") and the average of the y values. in other words, the mid pt between 0,0 and (4d,4e) has x value of (0+4d)/2 (to find the average of 2 numbers, add together and divide by 2) that simplifies to 4d/2, and even more to 2d (divide 4 by 2 to get 2) now find the y value of the mid pt between 0,0 and (4d,4e) can you do that ?

OpenStudy (phi):

you should get the mid pt between (0,0) and pt A to be (2d,2e) now find the mid pt between pts B and C find the average of their x values: (4f+4g)/2 = 2f+2g and their y values: (4e+0)/2 = 2e (2f+2g, 2e) to find the mid pt between (2d,2e) and (2f+2g, 2e) I'll do the average of the y values: (2e+2e)/2 = e+e = 2e you can do the average of the x-values, right ?
