Step-by-step explanation:
I can't understand
Step-by-step explanation:
Median is the line joining the midpoint of one side of a triangle to the opposite vertex. So, the coordinates of D would be(
2
6+1
,
2
5+4
)::(
2
7
,
2
9
)
ii)
P divides AD in the ratio 2:1.
A(x
1
,y
1
)=(4,2), D(x
2
,y
2
)=(
2
7
,
2
9
)
m:n=2:1
Using section formula, we get the coordinates of P.
P(x,y)=(
m+n
nx
1
+mx
2
,
m+n
ny
1
+my
2
)
=
⎝
⎜
⎜
⎛

2+1

⎠

⎞
=(

iii)
Coordinates of E will be (
2
5
,3) and the coordinates of F=(5,
2
7
).
Coordinates of Q=(

)
=
⎝

Coordinates of R=(

=

iv)
The coordinates of P,Q and R are the same which is (
3
11
,
3

).
This point is called the centroid, denoted by G.
