Geometry (18) Study Guide Find BG and GE.

Mathematics
1 answer:
GaryK [48]4 years ago
4 0
Answers: 
BG is 3 units long
GE is 6 units long

----------------------------------------------

Explanation:

BE is a median. G is the centroid.
One property is that GE is twice as long as BG
The longer part of the divide is from the centroid to the vertex

Which means,
GE = 2*BG

Using the segment addition postulate and substitution, we can solve for BG
BE = BG+GE
BE = BG+2*BG
BE = 3*BG
3*BG = BE
3*BG = 9
BG = 9/3
BG = 3

allowing us to say
GE = 2*BG
GE = 2*3
GE = 6

First, we must understand what standard form of a line is. Standard form of a line is written like  such that A,B, and C are all integers, and A must be positive. First, we must calculate the slope of the line that passes through theses coordinates. 

 

<span>As a refresher, this is the equation to figure out the slope of two coordinates.Now, we just simplify the numerator and denominator.  <span>  </span></span>

 

The next step is to utilize point-slope form, which is  where  is a point on the line. Of course, we already know that (7,-3) and (4,-8) both lie of the line. Therefore, plug in one fot he coordinates. Once converted into point-slope, we must then convert into standard form. This is what is demonstrated in the next step. 

 

<span>Let's multiply all sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction early.Distribute the 5 to both terms in the parentheses.Subtract 9 from both sides.Subtract 5x on both sides.We aren't done yet! The coefficient of the x-term must be positive. Therefore, divide by -1 on both sides.<span>This is standard form now, so we are done!</span></span>
