The answer is 2:1.

The centroid separates the median, or the point from the midpoint of a side of a triangle with its opposite angle, at a ratio of 2:1, meaning that one segment is 1/3 the length of the median and the other segment is 2/3 the length of the median.

This is finding exact values of sin theta/2 and tan theta/2. I’m really confused and now don’t have a clue on how to do this, pl
Lostsunrise [7]

First,

tan(<em>θ</em>) = sin(<em>θ</em>) / cos(<em>θ</em>)

and given that 90° < <em>θ </em>< 180°, meaning <em>θ</em> lies in the second quadrant, we know that cos(<em>θ</em>) < 0. (We also then know the sign of sin(<em>θ</em>), but that won't be important.)

Dividing each part of the inequality by 2 tells us that 45° < <em>θ</em>/2 < 90°, so the half-angle falls in the first quadrant, which means both cos(<em>θ</em>/2) > 0 and sin(<em>θ</em>/2) > 0.

Now recall the half-angle identities,

cos²(<em>θ</em>/2) = (1 + cos(<em>θ</em>)) / 2

sin²(<em>θ</em>/2) = (1 - cos(<em>θ</em>)) / 2

and taking the positive square roots, we have

cos(<em>θ</em>/2) = √[(1 + cos(<em>θ</em>)) / 2]

sin(<em>θ</em>/2) = √[(1 - cos(<em>θ</em>)) / 2]

Then

tan(<em>θ</em>/2) = sin(<em>θ</em>/2) / cos(<em>θ</em>/2) = √[(1 - cos(<em>θ</em>)) / (1 + cos(<em>θ</em>))]

Notice how we don't need sin(<em>θ</em>) ?

Now, recall the Pythagorean identity:

cos²(<em>θ</em>) + sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 1

Dividing both sides by cos²(<em>θ</em>) gives

1 + tan²(<em>θ</em>) = 1/cos²(<em>θ</em>)

We know cos(<em>θ</em>) is negative, so solve for cos²(<em>θ</em>) and take the negative square root.

cos²(<em>θ</em>) = 1/(1 + tan²(<em>θ</em>))

cos(<em>θ</em>) = - 1/√[1 + tan²(<em>θ</em>)]

Plug in tan(<em>θ</em>) = - 12/5 and solve for cos(<em>θ</em>) :

cos(<em>θ</em>) = - 1/√[1 + (-12/5)²] = - 5/13

Finally, solve for sin(<em>θ</em>/2) and tan(<em>θ</em>/2) :

sin(<em>θ</em>/2) = √[(1 - (- 5/13)) / 2] = 3/√(13)

tan(<em>θ</em>/2) = √[(1 - (- 5/13)) / (1 + (- 5/13))] = 3/2
