Find Midpoint on a Number Line DECORATING Marco places a couch so that its end is perpendicular and 2.5 feet away from the wall. The couch is 90” wide. How far is the midpoint of the couch back from the wall in feet? First we must convert 90 inches to 7.5 feet. The coordinates of the endpoints of the couch are 2.5 and 10. Let M be the midpoint of the couch. Midpoint Formula x1 = 2.5, x2 = 10 Example 3

Answer: The midpoint of the couch back is 6.25 feet from the wall. Find Midpoint on a Number Line Simplify. Answer: The midpoint of the couch back is 6.25 feet from the wall. Example 3
