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

Segment Bisector

A segment bisector is any segment, line, or line that intersects a segment at its midpoint .

Construction: Bisect a Segment

1. Draw a segment.2. Place the compass on one end and open the

compass bigger than half of the segment.3. Draw arcs above and below the segment.4. Without moving the compass sixe, move the point to

the other end of the segment.5. Draw arcs about and below the segment.6. Use a straightedge to connect the x’s you made

above and below the segment.7. Where this new segment crosses the 1st one is the

midpoint.See page 30 for pictures.
