Leo is running in a 5-kilometer race along a straight path. if he is at the midpoint of the path, how many kilometers does he have left to run?

Respuesta :

Let us assume Leo starts from a point (0,0)

Since the total length of the race is 5 km, he will be at (5,0) at the end of the race.

It is given that, he is at the mid point of the race.

Mid point formula is  : [tex]\frac{(x_{1} +x_{2} )}{2} , \frac{(y_{1} +y_{2} )}{2}[/tex]

Present coordinate : [tex]\frac{5+0}{2} , \frac{0+0}{2} = (2.5,0)[/tex]

He still needs to run 5-2.5 = 2.5 km
