Parameters
|
|
|
p1
|
-
|
an n-element list or Vector specifying a point

Description
|
|
|
•
|
The command Midpoint(p1, p2) computes the midpoint of the line segment joining p1 and p2.
|
|
•
|
p1 and p2 must specify points of the same dimensionality (and orientation, when each of the points is a Vector).
|
|
•
|
This command is part of the Student[Precalculus] package, so it can be used in the form Midpoint(..) only after executing the command with(Student[Precalculus]). However, it can always be used in the form Student[Precalculus][Midpoint](..).
