Take a compass, extend it about 3/4 of the length of the segment. Then from one end of the segment, draw a 180 degree arc. From the other end draw another arc. Connect the points where the arcs intersect. Where the line intersects with the segment is the midpoint of the segment. That is how you bisect a segment to find the midpoint - geometrically.

To find the midpoint of a segment fold the paper so that the two endpoints of the segment match up?
true
Why a line segment has only one midpoint but can have many bisectors?
All bisectors intersect the line segment at the midpoint. There can be multiple bisectors, intersecting at the midpoint at different angles, but they all intersect the line segment at its midpoint. The midpoint separates the line segment into two equal halves.
What of a segment is a line segment or ray that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint?
Perpendicular Bisector
How do you find the midpoint in a given segment?
If the coordinates of the end points are (a,b) and (c,d) then the midpoint is the point whose coordinates are [(a+c)/2, (b+d)/2]
What are pdiports 64?
Use the midpoint calculator to find out the midpoint of a line segment, which is the point that cuts the segment into two equal parts.
How do you find the coordinate of the midpoint of a line segment?
The 'x' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'x' coordinates of the segment's ends. The 'y' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'y' coordinates of the segment's ends.
What is the midpoint formula used for?
The midpoint formula is used to find the point that is in the middle of a segment.
How do you find the length of the segment if you know an endpoint and the midpoint?
-- Find the distance between the endpoint and the midpoint.-- Double that distance to get the length of the complete segment.-- When you're finished, sit quietly for a moment and ponder the meaning of "midpoint".
How do you find the midpoint of a line segment?
The midpoint of a line segment would be to add up all of the numbers in the segment. Then divide by the number of numbers that were added. For example if a 1, 3, and 8 were added, divide by 3. This will give the midpoint of the line segment.
How to find the midpoint of a segment?
You find the midpoint of a line segment by dividing its length by two. If you are given two sets of 'x' and 'y' coordinates as the endpoints of the segment on a graph, then you need to use the formula [X1 plus X2]/2, [Y1 plus Y2]/2 to find the coordinates of the midpoint.
A line that intersects a segment at its midpoint?
A line that intersects a segment at its midpoint bisects the segment.
