Given: ∆ABC Prove: The three medians of ∆ABC intersect at a common point. When written in the correct order, the two-column proof below describes the statements and justifications for proving the three medians of a triangle all intersect in one point.
STATEMENTS: 1. Point F is a midpoint of AB Point E is a midpoint of AC Draw BE Draw FC 2.Point G is the point of intersection between BE and FC 3. Draw AG 4. Point D is the point of intersection between AG and BC 5.Point H lies on AG such that AG ≅ GH I . BD ≅DC II. FG II BH and GE II HC III. GC II BH and BG II HC IV.BGCH is a parallelogram 6. AD is a median
posting justifactions and picture now too
Justifications: 1. By Construction 2. Intersecting lines postulate 3. By Construction 4. Intersecting line postulate 5. By Construction I.Properties of a Parallelogram (diagonals bisect each other) II.Midsegment Theorem III. Substitution IV.Properties of a Parallelogram (opposite sides are parallel) 6.Definition of a Median
Question and Answers: Which is the most logical order of statements and justifications I, II, III, and IV to complete the proof? II, III, I, IV III, II, I, IV II, III, IV, I III, II, IV, I
Picture:
is this all one question or multiple ones?
One question
ok let me work on it for you.
Ok:D
II IV I III for the order question, I believe... hold on I'm still thinking about the rest
If your teacher is honestly giving you these questions, tell her to shut the hel* up.. god I hate these ones....
Haha, but its only one question aha
wait, II, IV, I, III isnt a answer?
All that is one quesiton
Im thinking out loud lol
ok this is confucing the heck outta me, but I am pretty sure parth will help you cause he is genius
confusing*
It was II, III, IV, I
