Question

Find the distance of the point (1 2) from the midpoint

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to find

the distance of the point (1,2)from the mid point of the line segment joining the points (6,8), (2,4).

solution :-

at first  

let the mid point of  (6,8), (2,4) is (x,y)  

here  

x =

=  

= 8/2 = 4  

and y=    

=  = 12 / 2= 6

the co-ordinates of mid point are (4,6)  

now,

using distance formula  

distance between (4,6) and (1,2) is  

=    

= √(3² + 4²) = √(9 + 16) = √ 25 = 5
