Answer:
this is the correct answer
Answer:
4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Concept= Mid Point of line
Given= Length of line and its midpoint
To Find= The length till midpoint
Explanation=
We have been the question as point M is the midpoint of seg PQ. If PQ=9 then find length of PM.
So there is a line segment PQ whose length is 9.
There is a midpoint in PQ which is M.
We need the length of PM.
P______________Q
If mid point is considered
P______M_______Q
Since we know that mid point lies in the middle of line. So, the point divides the line in exactly two equal halves.
The length of PM=MQ here.
PM/QM= PQ/2
we need to find the length of PM so we consider it accordingly,
PM= PQ/2
We already know that PQ is 9 as provided in the question.
PM= 9/2
PM= 4.5
Therefore the length of PM is 4.5
