The correct Answer is:
To find the lengths of the medians of triangle ABC with vertices A(1, 0), B(3, 6), and C(3, 2), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Midpoints of the Sides The medians of a triangle connect a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. We need to find the midpoints of sides BC, AC, and AB. 1. **Midpoint D of BC**: \[ D = \left( \frac{x_B + x_C}{2}, \frac{y_B + y_C}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{3 + 3}{2}, \frac{6 + 2}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{6}{2}, \frac{8}{2} \right) = (3, 4) \] 2. **Midpoint E of AC**: \[ E = \left( \frac{x_A + x_C}{2}, \frac{y_A + y_C}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{1 + 3}{2}, \frac{0 + 2}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{4}{2}, \frac{2}{2} \right) = (2, 1) \] 3. **Midpoint F of AB**: \[ F = \left( \frac{x_A + x_B}{2}, \frac{y_A + y_B}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{1 + 3}{2}, \frac{0 + 6}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{4}{2}, \frac{6}{2} \right) = (2, 3) \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Lengths of the Medians Now we will calculate the lengths of the medians AD, BE, and CF using the distance formula: \[ \text{Distance} = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \] 1. **Length of Median AD**: \[ AD = \sqrt{(3 - 1)^2 + (4 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{2^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{4 + 16} = \sqrt{20} \] 2. **Length of Median BE**: \[ BE = \sqrt{(2 - 3)^2 + (1 - 6)^2} = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (-5)^2} = \sqrt{1 + 25} = \sqrt{26} \] 3. **Length of Median CF**: \[ CF = \sqrt{(2 - 3)^2 + (3 - 2)^2} = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (1)^2} = \sqrt{1 + 1} = \sqrt{2} \] ### Final Answer The lengths of the medians of triangle ABC are: - Median AD: \(\sqrt{20}\) - Median BE: \(\sqrt{26}\) - Median CF: \(\sqrt{2}\)
