Topic: Basic Geometry
Subtopic: Distance & Midpoint Formulae


Given two points in a place, say with coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), we can find the exact distance between them and the exact midpoint of the line segment conntecting them using two formulas that you should MEMORIZE:




Define: point in a plane, distance between two points, line segment, midpoint of a line segment
