What is the length of the hypotenuse in the following figure.

The length is obviously 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If u did not know it and it was not written u would do 4 squared + 3 squared = 25 and then the square root of 25 which is 5

for finding the midpoint of any given 2 pair of points simply add the respective x coordinates with other x coordinate and the y coordinate with other y coordinate and divide them by 2

in your question it will be :

(3+1)/2 for the x coordinate of mid point i.e 2

[8+(-4)]/2 for the y coordinate of midpoint i.e 2

so coordinates of mid point of points (3,8) and (1,-4) will be (2,2)
