Question

You live in Carson City, Nevada, which has approximate (latitude, longitude) coordinates of (39N, 120W). Your friend lives in Ottawa, Ohio, with coordinates of (41N, 84W). You plan to meet halfway between the two cities. Find the coordinates of the halfway point. can someone help me with this?

Answer 1

In order to find the coordinates of the halfway point, we use the midpoint formula.

By first finding the x coordinate by adding the two given values and dividing them by 2, (39+41)/2 = 40

And then next is to find the y coordinate by getting the sum of the two coordinates and getting their average just like the first step: (120+84)/2 = 102

The final answer is (40N, 102W).
