Question 66944: The vertices of a right triangle are (6,5), (2,1), and (8,1). What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the hypotenuse?
Answer Choices:
A) (6,3)
B) (4,3)
C) (5,1)
D) (8,3) Answer by checkley71(8405) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The hypotenuse of this triangle is the line between 2,1 & 8,1 with a length of
8-2=6 so the midpoint would be 6/2+2=3+2=5 for the x cordinate & 1 for the y coordinate or C)(5,1) is the midpoint.
