Question

M, N, and O are three points on a line.
O is between M and N. If O is the
midpoint of segment MN and MN = 13,
what is the LENGTH of segment MO
and segment ON?

Answer 1

Answer:

M, N, and O are three points on a line.

O is between M and N. If O is the

midpoint of segment MN and MN = 13,

what is the LENGTH of segment MO

and segment ON?

Answer 2

Given:

MN=13 units

To find:

The length of MO and ON

Solution:

The length of MO and ON is 6.5 units.

We can find the length by following the steps given below-

We know that M, N, and O lie on a line and O is between M and N.

We are given that O is the midpoint of MN.

So, O divides MN into two equal parts or in the ratio of 1:1.

MO=ON=1/2 of MN

Now, we have the length of Mn as 13 units.

The length of MO=1/2 of MN

=1/2×13

=13/2

=6.5 units

similarly, the length of ON=1/2 of MN

=1/2×13

=13/2

=6.5 units

Therefore, the length of MO and ON is 6.5 units.
