What is the midpoint of the segment shown below? (2, 3) (10, 3)

(6,3)

Explanation:

(6,3)

add 2 to 10

add 3 to 3

you get 12,6

divide that by 2

you get 6,3

the answer would be the third option, "no, ariel should have added 9^2 and 12^2 and compared that to 15^2."

this is found through the pythagorean theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

this is the correct way of solving the problem:

9^2 + 12^2 = 15^2

81 + 144 = 225

225 = 225
