I will use x as my variable
if x = c/2 then 2x-c = 0
if x = d/2 then 2x-d = 0
your quadratic equation would be
(2x-c)(2x-d) = 0
expand it to get it into general form
OR
sum of roots = c/2 + d/2 = (c+d)/2
product of roots = cd/4
equation: x^2 - (c+d)/2 x + cd/4 = 0 or
4x^2 - (c+d)x + cd = 0
if x = c/2 then 2x-c = 0
if x = d/2 then 2x-d = 0
your quadratic equation would be
(2x-c)(2x-d) = 0
expand it to get it into general form
OR
sum of roots = c/2 + d/2 = (c+d)/2
product of roots = cd/4
equation: x^2 - (c+d)/2 x + cd/4 = 0 or
4x^2 - (c+d)x + cd = 0

last line should read:
4x^2 - 2(c+d)x + cd = 0
4x^2 - 2(c+d)x + cd = 0
