Understanding Midpoint and Distance in Geometry

This chapter explores key concepts in geometry, specifically focusing on the midpoint of a line segment and the distance between two points. It defines the segment bisector and provides examples to find midpoints and distances using coordinates. The midpoint formula is illustrated with practical examples, such as finding the midpoint between points R(1,-3) and S(4,2), as well as calculating the distance between points R(3,1) and S(-1,-5). Understanding these concepts is crucial for mastery in geometry.
