Find the distance between the given points.....?

Question

and then find the midpoint of the segment?????

woo nelly! help!!

duhh...(0,0,0) and (4,6,12) haha sorry my brain is fried!

Answer 1

a - b = distance

d x .5 = midpoint

Answer 2

The distance between the given points is the distance between the two points given.......the midpoint of the segment is the point in the middle of the segment which includes the two points of the distance given, divided by two. Simple....wait till you get to the second grade! Phewweee!

Answer 3

To find the distance between two points, you would use the principle of the pythagorean theorem. I your points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), then the distance d is:

d = square root of [ (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 ]

Now the midpoint is just the point right in between the two points. your midpoint coordinate will be:

m = ( (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2 )

Answer 5

Do you have the "co-ordinates" of the points? It is hard to discuss these things in the abstract, (and on paper)

Answer 6

Absolute distance= sqrt((x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2)

ymid=(y1-y2)/2

xmid=(x1-x2)/2

Answer 7

ok so wheres the problem
