HIT ME WITH IT!! :D

Um sweetheart that isnt a question :)
or Mister
Tag me when you finished writing your paragraph 00.00
\(BN=15,MC=18\) and \(\angle BKC=90^{\circ}\), then find the area of \(\triangle ABC\)
@Here_to_Help15
THey forgot to tag you

Are you missing some given condition? I got the area BMNC = 135|dw:1430860937219:dw| But no way to go further. ha!!
lol i forget to state that \(BN\) and \(CN\) are medians
BN and CM
ha!! it is a big missing point.
Then we have MN// BC, right?
ok, let me carefully draw it out and we discuss later. kid @xapproachesinfinity
@xapproachesinfinity That is what I said. If M, N are middle points of AB, AC, then MN?// BC
I give up. hehehe.... old man need eating something. Young boy try to help him, ok?
let me do paper and pen hehhe
?
@amistre64
is the area 180? since BN is a median there for BK=2/3BN=2/3 (15)=10 similarly CK=2/3 (18)=12 and since ck is the altitude of the triangle CKB ( angle bkc=90) therefore Area of BKC=12x10/2=60 and since all triangle created by the centroid are equal in area now i create another median coming from the vertex A cutting BC at H then i have CKH=1/2 BKC=30 (As a result of K being a Centroid) now all it follow that all angles have the same area if K is the centroid therefore Total area=6(30)=180
this makes sense now !
