To find the coordinates of the midpoint and then distance between each pair of points
Answer to Problem 9MCQ
Midpoints (17, 27)
Distance between
PQ = 35
PR = 17
QR = 17
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
P (26, 12) and Q (8, 42)
Formula used:
To calculate coordinate
To calculate the distance
Distance=
Calculation: calculating the coordinates
Let the coordinates of P (26, 12) be
Substituting values in the formula
Solving it further
The coordinates are
Now find distance between each points
First take P (26, 12) and Q (8, 42)
Substitute value in the formula
Distance =
Solving further
Distance =
Solving further
Distance =
Distance is
Distance =
Now take P (26, 12) And R (17, 27)
Substitute values in the formula
Distance =
Solving further
Distance =
Solving further
Solving further
Now, take Q (8, 42) and R (17, 27)
Substitute values in the formula
Distance =
Solving further
