That is the bit I know, but then I have the result expressed in a and b. Is this SUFF?Gmatss wrote:midpoint = (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2

Nope, you'll get a valueSaffa wrote:That is the bit I know, but then I have the result expressed in a and b. Is this SUFF?Gmatss wrote:midpoint = (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2

C (a, 1-b)
D (1-a, b)
x coordinate = (a+1-a)/2 = 1/2 = 0.5
y coordinate = (1-b+b)/2 = 1/2 = 0.5
Mid point coordinates of CD = (0.5,0.5)
Hope this helps.
