Mid point Problem

Today we were given an assignment to find the midpoint of two places in the world that we like or would like to live in, visit etc. I had a hard time figuring which place to chose since i was blessed to travel to a lot of places around the world, so these were my top three results. New York Manhattan my dream town (which iv never been to) Paris (which is beautiful) and Belgrade (which i live in) so i settled to New York and Serbia. First thing to find is the latitude of the longitude of the places at hand.

 We take the two latitudes and longitudes which are 44.789489 and 20.432335 for Serbia Belgrade and 40.790077 and -73.958716 for New York Manhattan and we take the y's and x's and we add it together and divide by 2.
44.789489+40.790077/2=42.789783
20.432335+-73.958716/2=-26.7631905

 And the mid point was in the ocean somewhere as shown bellow:

Test Reflection

When I've got handed my test back I was pleasantly surprised at the answer i got right. There was nothing bellow a 7/8 which for me is a victory, and I was even more enlightened when I saw a 6/6. All in all the studies I did before hand all came into use and reflected on my test.

But now comes the part in which I have to talk about the changes I would make if I could go back and time and redo the whole test. One of my biggest problems was not reading a question fully but just guessing what the teacher wanted from me. One example of this (and the only example) was instead of me doing surface area, I had to do perimeter and of course Iv got that question as a redo to which i lost one point, one perfectly good point, which could of turned out to be 8/8 but did not because I haven't read the questions thoroughly.

My second change would be, writing the units, weather they be kilometers, centimeters and so on. But this is one essential thing I forgot to do which might have cost me a point or might have not.
