Answer 1

(21.9, 66.3)

Explanation:

Given the coordinates A (25.5, 60.1) and C (18.3, 72.5)

The formula for calculating the midpoint is expressed as;

M = {(x1+y1)/2, (y2+y1)/2}

X = (x1+y1)/2

Y = (y2+y1)/2

From the given coordinates A (25.5, 60.1) and C (18.3, 72.5)

x1 = 25.5, y1= 60.1, x2 = 18.3 and y2 = 72.5

X = (25.5+18.3)/2

X = 43.8/2

X = 21.9

Y = (72.5+60.1)/2

Y = 132.6/2

Y = 66.3

The midpoint of the coordinates M will be M(21.9, 66.3)
