Algebra.Com's Answer #60664 by vertciel(183)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is an analytic geometry problem. With all geometry problems, it is wise to draw a neat, accurate diagram to help you solve the problem.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I'll let you draw the diagram yourself (in this case, you can even sketch it).\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Remember that the midpoint formula:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Midpoint of a line = ( Average of the x and y coordinates)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " = ( (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2 )\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Find the points on which the hypotenuse is situated and use this formula.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
