Question

d. problems a - c are examples of the ______________ property.

1. given: line ab at the right.

a. find ab, the length of $overline{ab}$.
b. construct the midpoint of $overline{ab}$ and label it c.
c. find ac.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate length of AB

$AB=\vert5 - (-3)\vert=8$

Step2: Find mid - point formula

The mid - point $C$ of $AB$ has coordinate $C=\frac{-3 + 5}{2}=1$

Step3: Calculate length of AC

$AC=\vert1-(-3)\vert = 4$

Answer:

a. $AB = 8$
b. Mid - point $C$ has coordinate $1$
c. $AC = 4$
