To solve the problem step-by-step, we need to find the midpoint \( D \) of side \( BC \) given vertex \( A \) of triangle \( ABC \) at coordinates \( (3, 5) \) and the centroid \( G \) at coordinates \( (-1, 2) \). ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between the centroid and the vertices of the triangle The centroid \( G \) of a triangle with vertices \( A(x_1, y_1) \), \( B(x_2, y_2) \), and \( C(x_3, y_3) \) is given by the formula: \[ G = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3}, \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3} \right) \] In our case, we know \( A(3, 5) \) and \( G(-1, 2) \). ...
