Question

Find the distance of the point (1,2) from the mid point of line segment joining the point (6,8)and(-2,4)

Answer 1

midpoint of (6,8) and (-2,4) = ((6+(-2))/2 , (8+4)/2) = (2,6)

so distance between (2,6) and (1,2) = ( (2-1)^2  +  (6-2)^2 )^(1/2)

                                                           = (17)6(1/2)

Answer 2

midpoint of (6,8) and (-2,4) = ((6+(-2))/2 , (8+4)/2) = (2,6)

so distance between (2,6) and (1,2) =

( (2-1)^2  +  (6-2)^2 )^(1/2)

=(17)6(1/2)
