Answer:
The distance from the midpoint of the interval to either endpoint is 6 units
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the midpoint of the interval
The formula to calculate the midpoint between two numbers is equal to
[tex]M=(\frac{x1+x2}{2})[/tex]
substitute
[tex]M=(\frac{2+14}{2})[/tex]
[tex]M=8[/tex]
step 2
Find the distance from the midpoint of the interval to either endpoint.
14-8=6 units
or
8-2=6 units
therefore
The distance from the midpoint of the interval to either endpoint is 6 units
