@Hero

OpenStudy (welshfella):

use the formula for the distance between 2 points given the coordinates of the points

OpenStudy (chasebraves):

@welshfella what do u mean

OpenStudy (welshfella):

If there are 2 points (x1,y1) and (x2, y2) the distance beween them is sqrt [(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2] (This follows from the Pythagoras Theorem)

OpenStudy (chasebraves):

ok i guess

OpenStudy (welshfella):

So the length of the median CP is sqrt ((a - a)^2 + (b - 0)^2) = sqrt b^2 = b

OpenStudy (chasebraves):

ok

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Now apply the same rule to the other 2 medians

OpenStudy (chasebraves):

ok
