Median
The midpoint of a triangle is the 3rd sides' size, divided by 2.
The midpoint formula: (X1+ X2 /2, Y1+Y2 /2) *Each divided by 2 Just plug the two coordinates of the segment that you want to find the midpoint of
A triangle is not a segment joining a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite the vertex.
If the square has been plotted in a graph, you can go about finding the diagonal of it by measuring the midpoint. (1) Find the coordinates of the vertices of the square (2) Use the coordinates of two vertices that are across from each other. Plug them into the midpoint equation: (X1 + X2)/2 , (Y1 + Y2)/2, and use your answers as the coordinates of the midpoint (x,y) (3) Draw a straight line crossing through the midpoint from one opposite vertex to another. That is your diagonal.
