� What is the midpoint ? � Answer: It is the middle section of a line. Is what divides a line in 2 congruent sections. � How can you find the midpoint of a line? � You can find the midpoint of a segment by using the coordinates of its endpoints. � Calculate the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of the endpoints.

� What is the Pythagorean theorem? � Answer: Is theorem we used in right

� What is the Pythagorean theorem? � Answer: Is theorem we used in right triangles to figure out a side of the triangle. � You can also used it to find the distance between two points in the coordinate plane. � In a right triangle, the two sides that form the right angle are the legs. The side across from the right angle that stretches from one leg to the other is the hypotenuse. In the diagram, a and b are the lengths of the shorter sides, or legs, of the right triangle. The longest side is called the hypotenuse and has length c.
