What is the length of the midsegment ab?

Ok u will need to use midpoint formula for this: so the formula is: (x1+x2/2, y1+y2/2) NOTE: Do not multiply the 1’s or 2’s next to the x and y’s.

So let’s use 8 as our “x1” and 17 as our “x2” value. And let’s use 6 as our y1 value and the 6 in (17,6) as our y2 value.

The formula with the plugged in values:
(8+17/2, 6+6/2), so when this is solved, the coordinate you get is (12.5,6)
