Points o, a, b lie on the same line. oa = 12 cm, ob = 9 cm. find the distance between the midpoints of segments oa and ob if: point o doesn’t lie on the segment ab .

1.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached,

OA = 12 cm and OB = 9 cm.

Let the mid points of OA and OB are P and Q.

Then we have to find the distance between P and Q.

Since P is the midpoint of OA so OP = = 6 cm.

and Q is the midpoint of OB so OQ = = 4.5 cm

Now PQ = OP - OQ

              = 6 - 4.5

              = 1.5 cm.

Distance between the midpoints of segments OA and OB is 1.5 cm.

step-by-step explanation:

two pairs of adjacent sides are of equal length. this implies that one diagonal divides the kite into congruent triangles, and so the angles between the two pairs of equal sides are equal in measure. it also implies that the diagonals are perpendicular.
