get location or x ,y coordinates of mid point of width or height
i have a rectangle with height = 123 and width = 92. also i have central location x ,y = 47 , 62 .
I can find the mid point of width and height of rectangle .
but i want to get location x ,y of mid point of width or height of rectangle .How can i get that .
Can any one please tell me mathematically .
thanks

Re: get location or x ,y coordinates of mid point of width or height
Hi tina123;
In order to get the x,y coordinates of your rectangle it would have to located along the xy axis otherwise the center point of it will be different for each rectangle.
See the drawing below.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Re: get location or x ,y coordinates of mid point of width or height
Well, we can find central location of a rectangle .
let say we have x,y initiail corner of rectangle is 1,1 . width and height of rectangle is 92 and 23 .
so cX = x + width/2 , cy =y+ height /2
that will give u central location of rectangle .
but how can we get location of mid point of width or height ?

Hi;
To get the midpoint of a side you just add the coordinates and divide by 2. Same as for a line.

i know the way to get the mid point . mid point will be single value .
i want mid point location in x , y .
How can we get that ?

Hi;
Do you want the mid point of a side or of the rectangle?

Re: get location or x ,y coordinates of mid point of width or height
Since the sides of a rectangle are either horizontal or vertical lines you do this.
For a horizontal side with coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) the midpoint is
For a vertical side with coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) the midpoint is

Hi tina123;
Those formulas are the correct way to get the midpoint ( the red marks ) of a side of a rectangle when you have the (x,y) coordinates of the vertices of the side.
Try it on one.
Do you need a little more to understand it?
