Question

A (5,1),B(1,5),C (-1,-3) are the vertices pf triangle ABC. Find the length of median AD

Answer 1

done by applying distance formula

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The median AD will bisect side BC.

Point D will be the midpoint of side BC

So first we will have to find co-ordinates if D by midpoint formula.

It will be

(X1 + X2) / 2   and   (Y1 + Y2) / 2

1 + (-1) / 2        and   5 + (-3) / 2

 X= 0                        Y= 1

You get co-ordinates of D(0 , 1)

Then to find the length use distance formula to find distance between            A and D

After substituting the values in distance formula you get

√(5 - 0)² + √(1 - 1)²

=√(25) + 0

= 5 units
