Solution: Suppose A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2)
x1 = –1, y1 = 1 and x2 = 5, y2 = –7
Using midpoint formula,
∴ Coordinates of midpoint of segment AB
= `((x_1 + x_2)/2, (y_1+ y_2)/2)`
= `(square/2, square/2)`
∴ Coordinates of the midpoint = `(4/2, square/2)`
∴ Coordinates of the midpoint = `(2, square)`
From the figure given alongside, find the length of the median AD of triangle ABC. Complete the activity.
Solution:
Here A(–1, 1), B(5, – 3), C(3, 5) and suppose D(x, y) are coordinates of point D.
Using midpoint formula,
x = `(5 + 3)/2`
∴ x = `square`
y = `(-3 + 5)/2`
∴ y = `square`
Using distance formula,
∴ AD = `sqrt((4 - square)^2 + (1 - 1)^2`
∴ AD = `sqrt((square)^2 + (0)^2`
∴ AD = `sqrt(square)`
∴ The length of median AD = `square`
