Midpoint Formula Applications Pt. 1
Background
The Corvallis School District wants to build a new student resource center between its two high schools (Corvallis High School & Crescent Valley High School).
What do you think?
Where should the school district place the new resource center? (Write your answer as a coordinate)
Use this applet to check your work (drag point A, compare the distances)
If you used the same method here, it would show us that the midpoint is E.
Real World Factors
Does it make sense to build a resource center at point E?
Better Placement
Is there a better location that is near the midpoint but makes sense for Corvallis' features? (think about major roads, public transportation, and potential hills).
