Mathematics: Point j is the midpoint of segment fg with endpoints f(1,4) and g(5,12). point k is the midpoint of segment gh with endpoints g(5,12) and h(-1,4). what is the measure of jk?

Let’s talkkk claiming free points lol...

Step-by-step explanation:

If point J is the midpoint of segment FG with endpoints F(1,4) and G(5,12), then its coordinates are

$x_J=\dfrac{x_F+x_G}{2}=\dfrac{1+5}{2}=3\\ \\y_J=\dfrac{y_F+y_G}{2}=\dfrac{4+12}{2}=8$

If point K is the midpoint of segment GH with endpoints G(5,12) and H(-1,4), then its coordinates are

$x_K=\dfrac{x_G+x_H}{2}=\dfrac{5+(-1)}{2}=2\\ \\y_K=\dfrac{y_G+y_H}{2}=\dfrac{12+4}{2}=8$

The measure of JK is

$JK=\sqrt{(3-2)^2+(8-8)^2}=\sqrt{1^2+0^2}=1\ unit$
