The center is the mid point
\n" ); document.write( " If the coordinates of A and B are ( x1, y1) and ( x2, y2) respectively, then the midpoint, M, of AB is given by the following formula
\n" ); document.write( "(-2,1)(8,5)
\n" ); document.write( "M(x,y) =\"%28x1%2Bx2%29%2F2\" \"%28y1%2By2%29%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "x= (-2+8)/ 2y=(1+ 5 )/ 2
\n" ); document.write( "x= 3 ,y= 3
\n" ); document.write( "( 3 , 3 ) \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Radius is the distance from center to one of the endponts of the diameter .
\n" ); document.write( "Distance between two points
\n" ); document.write( "x1 y1 x2 y2
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "(3 3) (8 5)
\n" ); document.write( "d= \"sqrt%28%28y2-y1%29%5E2%2B%28x2-x1%29%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "d= \"sqrt%28%285-3%29%5E2%09%2B%288-3%29%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "d= \"sqrt%28%282%29%5E2%2B%285%29%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "d= \"sqrt%28%2829%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "d= 5.39
