Question

Giving trapezoid ABC D what is the midpoint of the leg a B

Answer 1

To find the midpoint M of the line segment from A to B, we can use the following formula:

`\begin{gathered} M((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2)) \\ \text{ Where A and B have coordinates} \\ A(x_1,y_2) \\ B(y_1,y_2) \end{gathered}`

So, we have:

`\begin{gathered} A(0,0) \\ B(1,2) \\ M((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2)) \\ M((0+1)/(2),(0+2)/(2)) \\ M((1)/(2),(2)/(2)) \\ \boldsymbol{M(0.5,1)} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the midpoint of the leg AB is (0.5,1).
