Question

find the midpoint, m, of $overline{ab}$. a 20 m b 54 m = ? midpoint is the sum of the two endpoints divided by 2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

The mid - point of two numbers \(a\) and \(b\) is \(\frac{a + b}{2}\). Here \(a = 20\) and \(b=54\).

Step2: Calculate the mid - point

\(M=\frac{20 + 54}{2}=\frac{74}{2}=37\)

Answer:

37
