Question

point Q is the midpoint of the line PR and if PR =10cm then PQ=?

Answer 1

Answer:

point Q is the midpoint of the line PR and if PR =10cm then PQ=5cm

Answer 2

Answer: PQ will be of 5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept: In geometry, the midpoint of two points is defined as the middle point of a line segment which is formed by joining the two points. It is equidistant from both endpoints, and it serves as the centroid of both the segment and also the endpoints. It bisects the line segment into two equal points and is obtained by dividing the length of the line segment by 2 which means it is just the half of the total length of the line segment.

Step 1: PR is the line which is of 10 cm. it is said that Q is the midpoint of the line PR , i.e., it divies the line PR into two equal segments which are PQ and QR.

Step 2: $PQ = \frac{1}{2} PR$ = $\frac{1}{2} *10$ cm =5 cm

Final ans: PQ is of length 5 cm.
