Question

Draw a diagram for the following:

a.$M$ is the point between$A$and$B$.

b.$M$ is the midpoint of$\overline{AB}$.

Short answer

a. The diagram is

.

b. The diagram is

.

Step-by-step solution

Part a. Step 1. Draw the diagram.

Consider$M$ that is the point between$A$ and $B$.

Part a. Step 2. Step description.

The diagram is as follows:

Part a. Step 3. Step description.

Here$M$ can be anywhere between$A$ and $B$.

Part b. Step 1. Draw the diagram.

Consider that $M$ is the midpoint of $\overline{AB}$.

Part b. Step 2. Step description.

The midpoint is the middle point of a line segment. It is equidistant from both endpoints, and it is the centroid both of the segment and of the endpoints. It bisects the segment.

Part b. Step 3. Step description.

The diagram is as follows:
