Question

Find the length of medium from a of triangle having values at a(5,1) b(1,5) c(-3,-1)

Answer 1

Answer:

A(5, 1 ) , B( 1, 5) and C (-3, -1) are the vertex of triangle ABC. Find the length of the median AD. (It is noted that point D sits on the line BC)

SOLUTION:

Find the coordinate of D

:CORDINATES OF D ARE(-1,2)

D is the midpoint of BC

Find the length AD:

SO MEDIAN AD=√(5+1)²+(1+2)²

= √37 UNITS

Answer: The length of AD is √37 units
