Prove that any median in a triangle is less than the half of the triangle's perimeter.

Mathematics

See image for naming of the sides: the medians are

ab, bc, and ac; and sides are a, b, and c

Pick one median, say, ab. The following are true:

ab < a

ab < b

->

ab + ab < a + b

ab < 0.5*(a+b)     | add 0.5*c to the right hand side (does not change inequality)

ab < 0.5(a+b+c) = half perimeter

so ab < half perimeter

Same argument for bc, and ac holds.

Answer:

Plot the points (0,0) and (1,3) to make the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a linear equation is y=mx+b, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. We can see that the slope is m=3, and there is no b meaning b=0. Since the y-intercept is 0 we can start from the origin (0,0). The slope is 3/1 or known as rise/run. You go up 3 and go right 1, making the second point (1,3). This should work.

Mashcka [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/3

=><em>If</em> 8/3 = 1/6

x =1

1/6x = 8/3 ( Divide both sides by <em>1</em><em>/</em><em>6</em><em> </em>)

___ ___

1/6 1/6

(By cross-multiplying the numerators and denominators)

=> 1×6 8×6

___ x = ___

6×1 3×1

Cancelling out , we have

x = 8×2

____ = 8×2 = 16

1 × 1

<em>The</em><em> </em><em>final</em><em> </em><em>answer</em><em> </em><em>becomes</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>6</em>

<em>Hope</em><em> </em><em>it</em><em> </em><em>helps</em><em>.</em>
