Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to calculate the distance between two points
(x_1,y_1) and
(x_2,y_2) is,


d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

Therefore, length of CD having coordinates C(3,1) and D(3, 3),


CD=√((3-3)^2+(1-3)^2)


=2
units

Formula to find the midpoint of CD is,


M=(x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2)


=((3+3)/(2),(1+3)/(2))


=(3,2)

Therefore, length of CD = 2 units and (3, 2) are the coordinates of the midpoint of CD.
