We know that in geometry, a median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint<span> of the opposing side. So, in a triangle there are three medians. We will find them. 

As shown in the figure below, we have the medians:

P1C
P2A
P3B

We need to find P1, P2 and P3. The </span>midpoint of the segment (x1, y1) to (x2, y2<span>) is:
</span>
(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2},  \frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2})

Therefore:

For the segment AB:

P_{1} =  ( \frac{4-6}{2}, \frac{7-1}{2})
P_{1} = (-1,3)

For the segment BC:
P_{2} = ( \frac{4-2}{2}, \frac{-1-9}{2})
P_{2} = (1,-5)


For the segment CA:
P_{3} = ( \frac{-6-2}{2}, \frac{7-9}{2})
P_{3} = (-4,-1)

We know that the distance d<span> between two points P1(x1,y1) and P2(x2,y2) is given by the formula:
</span>
d =  \sqrt{(x_{2}- x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}- y_{1})^{2}  }

Then of each median is:

Median P1C:

d_{1}  = \sqrt{(-9-3)^{2}+(-2-(-1))^{2}} =  \sqrt{145}

Median P2A:

d_{2}  = \sqrt{(7-(-5))^{2}+(-6-1)^{2}} =  \sqrt{193}

Median P3B:

d_{3}  = \sqrt{(-1-(-1))^{2}+(4-(-4))^{2} } =  8

The list that orders the fractions from least to greatest is:

  • \frac{7}{12}, \frac{2}{3}, \frac{17}{24}, \frac{3}{4}

<h3>Ordering of fractions</h3>
  • To order the fractions from least to greatest, we have to realize their conversion to decimal.
  • To realize the conversion, the numerator is divided by the denominator, as ordering decimal numbers are easier than fractions.

Hence, the fractions converted to decimal are:

  • \frac{2}{3} = 0.6667.
  • \frac{7}{12} = 0.5833.
  • \frac{17}{24} = 0.7083
  • \frac{3}{4} = 0.75

Hence, the list from least to greatest is, according to the results of the conversions:

  • \frac{7}{12}, \frac{2}{3}, \frac{17}{24}, \frac{3}{4}
