What are the similarities and differences between the Distance and Midpoint Formulas?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

consider these two points A(a1,a1 ) and B (b1,b2 ) |dw:1406034927927:dw|

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

One is to find ½ way of the segment, and the other is to find the (straight) distance between 2 points.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I would just identify each using it's name :)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

so distance btw A and B is d= sqrt ((b2-a2)^2+(b1-a1)^2) |dw:1406035038803:dw|

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

so mid segmant = distance /2 how ever to find mid point its ( a1+b1/2 , a2+b2/2 )
