What exactly do you mean by Designated Spot?
If you are saying that you start from Matthews NC at (17,8) then go Northwest to Helena MT at (-15, 23), then go Southeast to Austin TX at (-2, -1) and then go Northeast to return to Matthews NC at (17, 8)
Connecting the points form a triangle.
You can use the distance formula to calculate the length of the sides of the triangle
You can use the midpoint formula to calculate the midpoint of any leg on the triangle.
