Answer:
a) 5units
b) (4.5, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the coordinate of P and Q be P(3, 2) and Q(6, 6)
PQ can be gotten using the distance formula;
PQ =√(6-2)²+(6-3)²
PQ = √4²+3²
PQ =√16+9
PQ =√25
PQ = 5units
Midpoint M is expressed as;
M(X, Y) = {(x1+x2)/2, y1+y2/2}
X = x1+x2/2
X = 3+6/2
X= 9/2
X = 4.5
Similarly;
Y = y1+y2/2
Y = 2+6/2
Y = 8/2
Y = 4
Hence the midpoint of PQ is (4.5, 4)
