In a coordinate map of a town, the temple is at (2, 8) and the market at (14, 2). A water tank must be placed at the midpoint of the road joining them. How far (in units) is the tank from the temple? (Use distance to the midpoint.)

Question

Accepted Answer

6.708. Midpoint M = (8, 5). Distance from temple (2,8) to M = √(8-2)^2 + (5-8)^2 = √36+9 = √45 = 3√5 6.7082.
