how to find the midpoint of a rectangle given co-ordinates
Coordinates are
(2,2)
(8,4)
(3,-1)
work out 4th coordinate
(9,1)
What is the midpoint of this rectangle - give co-ordinates
thank you

Find the middle of each side. Reiterate G55 - always draw.
Re: how to find the midpoint of a rectangle given co-ordinat
If you have a diagonal going from (2,2) to (9,1) could you not just find the midpoint of that?

Yes, but a solid concrete understanding helps most children. The diagonal is a more abstract stage of teaching.

Yes, I see. That makes sense.
