To draw the median of the triangle from vertex A, the mid point of BC must be determined. The median of the vertex A is given at (-1/2, 1). See explanation below.
<h3>How you would draw the median of the triangle from vertex A?</h3>Recall that B = (3, 7)
and C = (-4, -5).
- Note that when you are given coordinates in the format above, B or C = (x, y)
- Hence the mid point of line BC is point D₁ which is derived as:
D₁,
- hence, the Median of the Vertex A = (-1/2, 1).
Connecting D' and A gives us the median of the vertex A. See attached graph.
<h3>What is the length of the median from C to AB?</h3>
Recall that
A → (4, 2); and
B → (3, 7)
Hence, the Midpoint will be
,
→
Recall that
C → (-4, 5)
Hence,
=
Simplified, the above becomes
= √(586)/2)
= 24.2074/2
= 12.1037
The length of the Median from C to AB ≈ 12
