Lesson 1-3: Use Distance and Midpoint Formulas
Midpoints and Bisectors: The midpoint of a segment is the point that divides the segment into two congruent segments. A segment bisector is a point, ray, line, line segment, or plane that intersects the segment at its midpoint.
In the skateboard design, bisects at point T, and XT = 39. 9 cm In the skateboard design, bisects at point T, and XT = 39.9 cm. Find XY.
Line n bisects the segment. Find the indicated length. Find DF if EF= 9 ½ m B A C Find AB if BC = 5/8 cm

The Midpoint Formula: If A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) are points in a coordinate plane, then the midpoint M of has coordinates Midpoint (M) =
Ex: The endpoints of RS are R(1, -3) and S(4, 2) Ex: The endpoints of RS are R(1, -3) and S(4, 2). Find the coordinates of the midpoint M. Ex: The endpoints of GH are G(7, -2) and H(-5, -6). Find the coordinates of the midpoint P.
Ex: The midpoint of JK is M(2, 1). One endpoint is J(1, 4) Ex: The midpoint of JK is M(2, 1). One endpoint is J(1, 4). Find the coordinates of endpoint K.
Ex: The midpoint of AB is M(5, 8). One endpoint is A(2, -3) Ex: The midpoint of AB is M(5, 8). One endpoint is A(2, -3). Find the coordinates of endpoint B.
Ex: The midpoint of AB is M(3, -4). One endpoint is A(-4, -6) Ex: The midpoint of AB is M(3, -4). One endpoint is A(-4, -6). Find the coordinates of endpoint B.
Distance Formula: To find the distance between two points, you will always use the Distance Formula. The Distance Formula: If A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) are points in a coordinate plane, then the distance between A and B is distance (d) =
