To find the coordinates of the midpoint and then find the distance between each pair
Answer to Problem 10MCQ
Coordinates (-6, -34)
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
M (6, -41) and N (-18, -27)
Formula used:
To calculate coordinate
To calculate the distance
Distance=
Calculation: calculating the coordinates
Let the coordinates of M (6, -41) be
Substituting values in the formula
Solving it further
Therefore coordinates are
Now, distance between each of the points
First taking M (6, -41) and N (-18, -27)
Substituting values in the formula
Distance =
Solving further
The distance between M and N IS
Distance =
Now, take point N (-18, -27) and P (-6, -34)
Substitute values in the formula
Distance =
Solving further
Distance =
Solving further
Solving further
Distance
Now, take points P (-6, -34) and M (6, -41)
Substitute values in the formula
Distance =
Solving further
Distance =
Solving further
Distance =
Solving further
Distance =
