O

A. True

O

B. False

Respuesta :

Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering we have a line segment for (0,0) to (0,8).

The midpoint is (0,4).

The formule for calculate the distance between two points is:

[tex]\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2}+ (y2-y1)^{2}}[/tex]

We substituye the values:

[tex]\sqrt{(0-0)^{2} + (8-0)^{2} }[/tex] = 8

The point halfway between the endpoints is (0,4)

that is the half of the distance between the points.
