Segment Bisector-Midpoint
What does a midpoint do to a segment?

Midpoint
The midpoint of a segment is the point that divides the segment into TWO CONGRUENT segments.
Remember: Congruent means equal!

Finding a length
Since M is the midpoint, it creates TWO equal distances.
Set the two distances equal to each other.
Tick marks mean the distances are the same.
6
Steps to solve
- Set the two tick mark expressions equal to each other.
- 4x - 1 = 3x + 3
- Solve for x, use algebra skills.
- Plug x into the length we are trying to find.
