Question

if A (2,2),B(-4,-4) and C(5,-8) are the vertices of a triangle.then find the lengthvof the median through vertex C

Answer 1

use the property of median that it divides the triangle in two parts.

Answer 2

Median is the line joining the vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side.By the principle the median passing through C passes through mid point of AB .
The midpoint of AB is ( -1,-1)
then length of the median is ((-1-5)²+(-1+8)²)^½
so length is 85^½
