Question

In exercises 12 and 13, the midpoints of the sides of triangle HJK are L(4,3), M(8,3), and N(6,1).

A) Find the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle

B) Show that each midsegment is parallel to a side of the triangle.

Answer 1

Can anybody please help? I constructed the given points, but I am not sure how to find the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle

Answer 2

is answer (4,1), (4,5), (8,1)

Answer 3

@bhusal can you please explain? :( I don't understand

Answer 4

@RH any problem

Answer 5

@bhusal I don't understand what you did in the beginning :( sorry

Answer 6

\[i supposed the coordinate of vertices as (x1,y1), (x2,y2), (x3,y3) and i used midpoint formulai.e \mid-points (x,y)=(x1+x2\div2 , Y1+y2\div2)\]

Answer 7

i supposed the coordinate of vertices as (x1,y1), (x2,y2), (x3,y3) and i used midpoint formula
i.e mid-points (x,y)=(x1+x2/2 , Y1+y2/2)

Answer 8

did you get it

Answer 9

no!! :( I am sorry leave it I can't understand at all what you did ! :( I am sorry to take your time

Answer 10

dont feel sorry where did you stuck is i shud help

Answer 11

do you have knowlwdge on midpoints of line segment

Answer 12

Yes I know what midpoints are. I don't understand how you find the points. so the given points are the midpoints of the triangle. In my book it says that I should find the slopes to draw the triangle. that is what I don't understand. How to find the points.

Answer 13

hey @RH did you solved

Answer 14

I think I understand. Are the points for HJ (8.6) ?

Answer 15

what do you want to say by points for HJ

Answer 16

is point H(8,6) ?

Answer 17

i got (4,1) its all about solving i may have done mistake you have understood the theme of question thats enough

Answer 18

I think I did. So you always find the slope first and then solve right? or..

Answer 19

know i find points first
slope= y2-y1/x2-x1 for that i need x1,y1 and x2,y2
