Question
Find the co-ordinates of the mid-point of AB, if A ≡ (1, 10) and B ≡ (3, -8).
Hint:
Apply the midpoint formula to get the midpoint when two endpoints of the line segment are given.
The correct answer is: coordinates of midpoint are (2,1)
ANS :- coordinates of midpoint are (2,1) .
Explanation :-
If two points 
and 
are end points of the line segment then mid point of the line segment is (
).
Given, and 
are (1,10) and (3,-8) respectively .
We get midpoint of AB is () = (
) = (2,1)
The coordinates of midpoint are (2,1).

The adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 8cm and 9cm. The diagonal joining the ends of these sides is 13cm. Calculate the area of the parallelogram.
The adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 8cm and 9cm. The diagonal joining the ends of these sides is 13cm. Calculate the area of the parallelogram.
Note:
Instead of adding 2 on both sides, we can also understand the concept by taking -2 of the right hand side on the left hand side and then the sign changes to + 2 . Similarly, instead of subtracting both sides by , we can understand it by saying that we take + x from the left hand side to the right hand side, and here it becomes - x .
Thus, addition becomes subtraction and vice-versa when taken from left hand side to right hand side or the opposite way; and multiplication becomes division and vice-versa. Be careful, 0 is never taken in the denominator.

Which of the following expressions is equivalent to the expression above?
Note:
Another way of solving this problem is to expand all the terms in the expression
Then we get,
Thus, we will get that
Can be written as
This also gives the same answer as above. No matter which method we use to simplify the expression, we will always get a unique answer.

One hundred park-district members will be selected to participate in a survey about selecting a new park-district coordinator. Which of the following methods of choosing the 100 members would result in a random sample of members of the park district?
Note:
The method given is option A is called simple random sampling. Some other methods of random sampling are stratified random sampling, cluster random sampling and systematic random sampling.
Infact, there is further categorisation of simple random sampling- probability and non-probability sampling.
