The Pythagorean Theorem states that if a right triangle has legs of lengths a and b and a hypotenuse of length c, then a2 + b2 = c2.
Remember!

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of GH with endpoints G(–4, 3) and H(6, –2).
Substitute.
Write the formula.
Simplify.

Additional Example 2: Finding the Coordinates of an Endpoint
Step 1 Let the coordinates of P equal (x, y).
Step 2 Use the Midpoint Formula.
P is the midpoint of NQ. N has coordinates (–5, 4), and P has coordinates (–1, 3). Find the coordinates of Q.

Additional Example 2 Continued
Multiply both sides by 2.
Isolate the variables.
–2 = –5 + x+5 +5
3 = x
6 = 4 + y
−4 −4
Simplify. 2 = y
Set the coordinates equal.
Step 3 Find the x-coordinate.
Find the y-coordinate.
Simplify.
