Question

A rectangle has vertices whose coordinates are A(1, 4), B(4, -1), C(-1, -4), and D(-4, 1). Find the coordinates of the midpoints of each side. (Enter answers as fractions.)

Midpoint of AB = (     ,       )
Midpoint of BC = (       ,          )
Midpoint of CD = (        ,         )
Midpoint of AD = (     ,         )

amistre64 · Answer

add AB and divide it in half to fine the average, or middle, point

amistre64 · Answer

same for the rest of them

amistre64 · Answer

for example:

  B = 4 -1
+C=-1 -4
----------
        3  -5

mid point of BC is then 3/2  -5/2
