Lesson 1.3 Midpoint and distance
midpoint • The midpoint of a segment is the point that divides the segment into two congruent segments.
Segment Bisector • Examples C B B M M A A D
The Real World • In the skateboard design, bisects at point T, and XT = 39.9 cm. Find XY and state postulate used.
Indy Practice • Find the length of VW 4x-1 3x+3 M
Midpoint Formula Use coordinates of endpoints to find midpoint The coordinates of the midpoint of a segment are the averages of the x-coordinates and y-coordinates
Coordinate Plane • Plot A (x1, x2) and B (y1, y2) and find coordinates of the midpoint of AB
Example • The endpoints of RS are R(1, -3) and S(4, 2). Find the coordinates of midpoint M.
Indy Practice • M(2, 1) of . One of the endpoints is J(1, 4). Find K
Distance Formula • Find the distance between 2 points in a coordinate plane. • Plot A (x1, x2) and B (y1, y2)
Example • Find the distance between R(2, 3) and S(4, -1)
Indy Practice • Find the distance between P(1, 2) and Q(5, 4)
