1. Problem Description

We are given the coordinates of two points, C(22,16)C(22, 16) and D(10,26)D(10, 26), and we need to find the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment CDCD.

2. Solution Steps

The midpoint formula is given by:
M=(x1+x22,y1+y22)M = (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})
where MM is the midpoint and (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) are the coordinates of the two endpoints.
Let C(22,16)C(22, 16) be (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and D(10,26)D(10, 26) be (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2). Then:
x1=22x_1 = 22, y1=16y_1 = 16
x2=10x_2 = 10, y2=26y_2 = 26
The x-coordinate of the midpoint is:
x1+x22=22+102=322=16\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} = \frac{22 + 10}{2} = \frac{32}{2} = 16
The y-coordinate of the midpoint is:
y1+y22=16+262=422=21\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} = \frac{16 + 26}{2} = \frac{42}{2} = 21
Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint are (16,21)(16, 21).

3. Final Answer

The coordinates of the midpoint of line CDCD are (16,21)(16, 21).
