Answer:
M(x₄ ,y₄) = (-3.5 , 0.5) and
N (x₅ ,y₅) = ( -1 , -0.5 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the endpoint coordinates for the mid segment of △PQR that is parallel to PQ be
M(x₄ ,y₄) and N(x₅ ,y₅) such that MN || PQ
point P( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( -3 ,3 )
point Q( x₂ , y₂) ≡ (2 , 1 )
point R( x₂ , y₂) ≡ (-4 , -2)
To Find:
M(x₄ ,y₄) = ? and
N (x₅ ,y₅) = ?
Solution:
We have Mid Point Formula as
As M is the mid point of PR and N is the mid point of RQ so we will have
Substituting the given value in above equation we get
∴
∴
Similarly,
∴
∴
∴ M(x₄ ,y₄) = (-3.5 , 0.5) and
N (x₅ ,y₅) = ( -1 , -0.5 )
Check the picture below
if that red segment, GJ, is parallel to the AE base segment of the triangle, then, the segment GJ is the midsegment of the triangle, and by the side-splitter theorem, those two triangles are similar.
