If you are asked to find the midpoint of line segment QP, what are you trying to do?

A. Make an approximate guess of the point that divides QP into two congruent parts.
B. Calculate the point that makes points Q and P equal to each other
C. Calculate the point that divides QP into two equal parts
D. Determine a third point that could make QP part of a triangle.

1 answer

The correct answer is: C. Calculate the point that divides QP into two equal parts.

Finding the midpoint of a line segment involves determining the point that is equidistant from both endpoints, effectively dividing the segment into two equal lengths.
