Answer:

The midpoint of
\overline{BD} is
((a)/(2),(a)/(2)).

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

We need to find the midpoint of
\overline{BD}.

For this, we will use the midpoint formula:
M=((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))

Now put
(x_1,y_1)=(0,a) and
(x_2,y_2)=(a,0) in the above formula and solve for M.


M=((0+a)/(2),(a+0)/(2))


M=((a)/(2),(a)/(2))

Hence, the midpoint of
\overline{BD} is
((a)/(2),(a)/(2)).
