SOLUTION: : point o, a ,b lie on the same line. oa = 12 cm, ob = 9 cam. find the distance between the midpoints of the segments oa and ob if point o does not lie on the segment ab

Question 1122218: : point o, a ,b lie on the same line. oa = 12 cm, ob = 9 cam. find the distance between the midpoints of the segments oa and ob if point o does not lie on the segment ab
Answer by greenestamps(13203) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

As before, you can put O at 0 on a number line; then B would be at 9 and A at 12.

With that picture...
(1) what is the midpoint of OA?
(2) what is the midpoint of OB?
(3) what is the distance between those midpoints?
