Guided Notes

3 key concepts

  • 1

    To find a point that is one-fourth of the way between two points, first find the midpoint between the two points, then find the midpoint between the starting endpoint and the midpoint you just found.

  • 2

    When finding a point one-third of the way, you must first find the midpoint between the given endpoint and the point that is one-third of the way through.

  • 3

    After finding the midpoint, you can use that point and the point one-third of the way to solve for the midpoint of the line.
