Question
The points $(-3, \sqrt{5})$ and $(1, \sqrt{2})$ are endpoints of the diagonal of a square. Determine the center of the square.
Step 1
The midpoint of a line segment with endpoints $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by the formula $\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$. Show more…
