In the number line below, JK is 5, LM is 6, and KL is 4. What is the length of the line segment formed by the midpoint of JK and midpoint of LM?

Respuesta :

Answer:

By splitting the line segments into equal parts, we find that the length of the line segment formed by joining the mid-points is 5.5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given lengths show that the length of JK is 5 units, KL is 4 units and LM is 6 units. Let the midpoint of JK be A. This means JK is splited into two equal parts JA and AK. Since the lengths of both the segments are same, it will be 5/2 = 2.5 units.

Now, let the midpoint of LM be B. So, we have two equal line segments LB and BM of length 6/2 = 3 units.

So, the length of the line segment formed by joining A and B will be 2.5 + 3 = 5.5 units
