From here you can either download the program for free onto your computer and then on to your calculator. (don’t worry we’ll walk you through it). Or you can use method 2 and type the code into your calculator by hand. After that, keep scrolling on this page for instructions on what the program does and how to use it.

1. See how to start a program on your calculator <here> (optional).

2. Begin typing in the code shown in the image or video shown below.

Do NOT individually type in the colons, or the “PROGRAM:EXAMPLE” name, the colons will show up automatically when you start a new line by pressing [enter]. The “PROGRAM:EXAMPLE” will already be at the top.

How To Use The Distance Formula And Midpoint Solver

---

Finding Distance

To start off press [prgm], then scroll to the “DISTMID” or whatever you named the program. And then press [enter] [enter]. Then the program will take you to the screen below.

From here you can select one of the three options on the menu, by scrolling to the item and  pressing [enter]. You can choose to find the distance between two points. Or you can choose to find the midpoint of two points, or quit the program. First off I will show you how the “DISTANCE” selection works.

Let’s say you want to find the distance between points (2,8) and (-5,3). In the screen shown above you would just type in each value for X1, Y1, X2, and Y2. Type in each value using the number keys and pressing [enter]. After you have made each entry press [enter] to get the answer.

The first number will be the decimal answer and the second answer will be the answer will be in the form of a square root. Don’t forget that the “THE SQUARE ROOT OF” answer should be written as “√74”. NOTE: you will not always get the square root answer in simplest form, but don’t worry, for a program that simplifies radicals click <here>.

Finding Midpoint

If instead we want to find the midpoint of two points we would select “MIDPOINT” from the menu. and we would then be taken the the screen below.

From here once again we would just enter the coordinates. We’ll use the same example coordinates as before (2,8) and (-5,3). Once you have filled out the coordinates press [enter].

Now you will be given the X and Y values for the midpoint. The final answer should be written as (-1.5,5.5).
