Find the coordinates of the endpoints of each midsegment?

Question

A (0,0)
B(4,6)
C(8,2)

Im not really sure what the question is asking but any help would be great! thanks

Answer 1

It looks like ABC is a triangle. A midsegment is when you connect the midpoints of two sides of the triangle. So you just need to find the midpoint of each pair of vertices of your triangle. All you have to do is average the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates. The midpoint of AB is (2,3), BC is (6,4), and CA is (4,1). Taken in pairs, you have the endpoints of the three midsegments.

Answer 2

I am not 100% sure, but It looks like the midsegments are the segments within the triangle ABC linking the middle of each of your triangle edges two by two.

In which case you have to find the coordinates of each midsegment's point ...

let us first take segment AB:
- the coordinates of the point at midsegment are : (0+4)/2 , (0+6)/2
and therefore (2,3)
let us then take segment BC:
- the coordinates of the point at midsegment are : (4+8)/2 , (6+2)/2
and therefore (6,4)
let us finally take segment CA:
- the coordinates of the point at midsegment are : (8+0)/2 , (2+0)/2
and therefore (4,1)
