What to enter
| Input | Meaning and units |
|---|---|
| First x coordinate (length) | Enter first x coordinate in length; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
| First y coordinate (length) | Enter first y coordinate in length; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
| Second x coordinate (length) | Enter second x coordinate in length; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
| Second y coordinate (length) | Enter second y coordinate in length; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
Understanding your result
Read x (length), y (length) in the units and model stated on this page. The formula x=(x1+x2)/2 · y=(y1+y2)/2 defines the relationship; measurement accuracy and model applicability are separate from numerical precision.
Common mistakes
- Mixing input units or changing the physical meaning of a variable without changing the model.
Check your calculation
- Use the worked example as a known reference case, then change one input at a time and check the direction and units of the response.

- What point lies halfway between these two coordinates
How it works
x=(x1+x2)/2; y=(y1+y2)/2
Worked example
Enter First x coordinate: 0 length; First y coordinate: 0 length; Second x coordinate: 3 length; Second y coordinate: 4 length. Results: x: 1.5 length; y: 2 length.
