Answer: 2 Marks
Let D, E, F be the mid-points of the sides BC, CA and AB respectively.
Then, the coordinates of D, E and F are
D(5+32,312)=D(4,1),
E(3+72,132)=E(5,2)
and F(7+52,3+32)=F(6,0)


Find The Lengths Of The Medians Of A Triangle ABC Whose Vert...


Distance between the points is given by
(x1x2)2+(y1y2)2
AD=(74)2+(31)2
AD=9+16=5 units
BE=(55)2+(23)2
BE=0+25=5 units
and, CF=(63)2+(0+1)2
CF=9+1=10 units
