document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "This midpoint has x-coordinate which is arithmetic mean of x-coordinates of the given points.\r\n" );

document.write( "Similarly, this midpoint has y-coordinate which is arithmetic mean of y-coordinates of the given points.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hint #2: When you will find the coordinates of the center, find the radius of the circle, using the distance formula.\r\n" );
