Given the midpoint (5,8) and that one of the endpoints is (-2. 6), find the other endpoint of the segment.

(12, 10 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the endpoints of a segment (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then midpoint is

[ (x₁ + x₂ ), (y₁ + y₂ ) ]

let (x, y) be the coordinates of the other endpoint then use the midpoint formula and equate to the coordinates of the midpoint.

(x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2,  6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (x, y), then

(- 2 + x) = 5 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

- 2 + x = 10 ( add 2 to both sides )

x = 12

(6 + y) = 8 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

6 + y = 16 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

y = 10

Thus

The other endpoint is (12, 10 )

6 equilateral triangles

first 15 divide by 2 = 7.5

100 divided by 7.5 is 13.

15 / 2 = 7.5

100 / 7.5 = 13.
