To find the length of the median drawn from point A to the midpoint of side BC in triangle ABC with vertices A(3, 2), B(1, 4), and C(-1, 0), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the coordinates of the midpoint P of side BC. The midpoint P of a line segment with endpoints B(x1, y1) and C(x2, y2) can be calculated using the midpoint formula: \[ P\left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\right) \] Here, the coordinates of B are (1, 4) and the coordinates of C are (-1, 0). ...
