Length = $\"sqrt%28+%28x2-x1%29%5E2+%2B+%28y2-y1%29+%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "For our problem x1=23 , x2=-2 , y1=4 and y2=16
\n" ); document.write( "So the length is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28+%28%28-2%29-%2823%29%29%5E2+%2B+%28%2816%29-%284%29%29+%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28+%28-25%29%5E2+%2B+%2812%29%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28+625+%2B+144+%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28+769%29\"$ , approximately 27.731
\n" ); document.write( "Midpoint = ( $\"+%28x1%2Bx2%29%2F2\"$ , $\"+%28y1%2By2%29%2F2+\"$ )
\n" ); document.write( "Midpoint = ( $\"+%2823%2B%28-2%29%29%2F2\"$ , $\"+%284%2B16%29%2F2+\"$ )
\n" ); document.write( "Midpoint = ( $\"+%2821%29%2F2\"$ , $\"+%2820%29%2F2+\"$ )
\n" ); document.write( "Midpoint = ( $\"+10.5\"$ , $\"+10+\"$ ) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
