Case Scenario
A study shed will be constructed midway between two buildings. On a school map drawn on the coordinate plane, the coordinates of the first building are (1, 3) and the coo
uilding are (1, 3) and the coordinates of the second building are (17, 11). What are the coordinates of the point where the study shed will be constructed?
