Original question and givens

Use one equal-unit orthogonal Euclidean L2 plane and one length unit. P=[-13, 1], Q=[14, 15], with midpoint M. Give (Mx, My, d(P,M)², d(M,Q)²). Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, retaining /1 for integers.

  • G001 — Use one equal-unit orthogonal Euclidean L2 plane and one length unit. P=[-13, 1], Q=[14, 15], with midpoint M. Give (Mx, My, d(P,M)², d(M,Q)²). Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, retaining /1 for integers.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
