To work the following problems, you will need a calculator and/or a sheet of paper. Two points will be given to you, and you will need to find the midpoint of the segment connecting the two points, and you will need to find the distance (length) of the segment between the two points. To accomplish this task you will need to know the distance and midpoint formulas:
D_istance = the square root of { (x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)² }
Where x₁ and x₂ are the first and second x values of the two points.
and y₁ and y₂ are the first and second y values of the two points.
M_{idpoint coordinates} = ((x₂ + x₁)/2),((y₂ + y₁)/2))
Where x₁ and x₂ are the first and second x values of the two points.
and y₁ and y₂ are the first and second y values of the two points.
