Points I and V are on line segment GE,
\n" ); document.write( "with I nearer to G.
\n" ); document.write( "The coordinates of G and E are -15 and 20, respectively.
\n" ); document.write( "So far, it looks like this:
\n" ); document.write( " .
\n" ); document.write( "(So far we do not know the distances between those points,
\n" ); document.write( "but we know that their labels read \"GIVE\").
\n" ); document.write( "We also know that
\n" ); document.write( "I is the midpoint of line segment GV,
\n" ); document.write( "meaning that \"GI=IV\" , and
\n" ); document.write( "V is the midpoint of line segment IE,
\n" ); document.write( "meaning that \"IV=VE\" .
\n" ); document.write( "Putting it all together \"GI=IV=VE\" .
\n" ); document.write( "So, \"GE=GI%2BIV%2BVE=IV%2BIV%2BIV=3%2AIV\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "but in coordinate units, the distance GE is \"GE=20-%28-15%29=20%2B15=35\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "so \"3%2AIV=35\" --> \"IV=35%2F3\" .
\n" ); document.write( "Then, \"IE=IV%2BVE=IV%2BIV=2%2AIV-2%2A%2825%2F3%29=highlight%2850%2F3=16%262%2F3=about16.67%29\" . \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
