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:
44.789489+40.790077/2=42.789783
20.432335+-73.958716/2=-26.7631905
