Prove using vectors: Medians of a triang...

Prove using vectors: Medians of a triangle are concurrent.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`P` divides AD in ratio `2: 1`
`1 \cdot \vec{a}+2(\frac{\vec{b}+\vec{c}}{2}) / 2+1 `
`=\frac{\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}}{3}=\frac{\vec{a}+\vec{b}}{2}`
since median divides other one in `2: 1`other one in `2: 1`.
For `B E:-\frac{1 \vec{b}+(\frac{2(\vec{c}+\vec{a})}{2})}{2+1}=\frac{\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}}{3})`
