Solving for the midpoint:

x - coordinate: (7.6 + 4.6)/2 = 6.1
y - coordinate: (10.1 + 3.1)/2 = 6.6

Midpoint: (6.1 , 6.6)

Solving for the distance:

Distance formula: sqrt( (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 )

D = sqrt( (7.6 - 4.6)^2 + (10.1 - 3.1)^2 )
D = sqrt( 3^2 + 7^2)
D = sqrt(58)
D = 7.62 units

Distance = 7.62 units
