What methods could you use to calculate the x coordinate of the midpoint of a horizontal segment with the endpoints of 12 0 and 12 0?
The two points are exactly the same so there is no line segment.
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 midpoint of a segment?
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.
How many midpoints does a line segment contain?
it depends on how long or how many joining segments it has. normally one line segment contains only one midpoint. Unless it has a joining segment there is only one midpoint.
