Question

Draw and label a line segment, JK, that is 3 inches long. use a ruler to draw and label midpoint M of the segment.

Answer 1

All of the explanation is in the picture. Hope this helped.

Answer 2

The construct of midpoint is shown below.

Explanation:

First we need to draw a line segment, JK, that is 3 inches long.

A midpoint of a line segment divides the line segments in two equal parts.

It is given that M is the midpoint of segment JK. It means

`JM=MK`

M divides the segment JK in two equal parts. So, the length of each part is 1.5.

`JM=MK=(3)/(2)=1.5`

Now, using scale mark a point M on the line segment, which is 1.5 inches away from J and K.
