Triangle ABC has vertices of A(–6, 7), B(4, –1), and C(–2, –9). Find the length of the median from A) 4 b) square Root of 18
C) 8
D) Square root of 68
1 answer:
We know that
the median<span> is the segment that joins each vertex with the midpoint of the opposite side</span>
using a graph tool
see the attached figure
Step 1
Find the midpoint segment BC
<span>B(4, –1), and C(–2, –9)
</span>
Xm=(4-2)/2=1
Ym=(-1-9)/2=-5
the midpoint BC is (1,-5)
the length of median is the distance point A(-6,7) and midpoint BC (1,-5)
d=√(12²+7²)=√193=13.89 units
the answer is 13.89 units

Order (B) 5 × 6 of the matrix can be multiplied by matrix a to create matrix ab.
<h3>What is a matrix?</h3>- A matrix is a rectangular array or table of numbers, symbols, or expressions that are organized in rows and columns to represent a mathematical object or an attribute of such an object in mathematics.
- For instance, consider a matrix with two rows and three columns.
To find the order of matrix:
- We must first check the dimension of two matrices, say matrix A by matrix B, before we may multiply them.
- Multiplication is achievable if the number of columns in the first matrix, A, equals the number of rows in the second matrix.
- Dimension is assigned to the provided matrix: 6 × 5
- This means the given matrix contains six rows and five columns.
- As a result, the second matrix MUST have 5 rows in order for multiplication to be POSSIBLE.
- The only matrix with 5 rows among the above alternatives is the matrix with dimension (B) 5 × 6.
To prove:
- In other words, the inner products of the dimensions should be equal.
- That is; (a × b)(b × a) is possible but (a ×b)(c × b) is impossible.
- The dimensions of the matrix are given by, row × column.
Therefore, order (B) 5 × 6 of the matrix can be multiplied by matrix a to create matrix ab.
