Point B lies on the segment AO. find the distance between point B and the middle of the segment AO, if AO = 7 cm, BO = 4 cm.

1. Let’s calculate half of the segment AO by dividing its length in half:

7: 2 = 3.5 cm.

2. Now we find the difference between the length of the AO and half of the segment AO, we obtain the distance from point B to the middle of AO:

4 – 3.4 = 0.5 cm.

Answer: the distance from point B to the middle of AO is 0.5 cm.
