Illustration: Find the distance of the point (1,2) from the mid-point of the line segment joining the points (6,8) and (2,4).
Solution: Let the points (1,2), (6,8), and (2,4) be denoted by A, B, and C respectively. Let M be the mid-point of BC. Coordinates of M, the mid-point of BC, are given by
We have
Illustration: Find the lengths of medians of the triangle with vertices A(2,2), B(0,2), and C(2,-4).
Solution: Let the coordinates of A, B, and C be (2, 2), (0,2), and (2, -4) respectively. Let D, E, F be the mid-points of BC, CA, and AB respectively.
Then the coordinates of D, E, F are given by
,
,
or D (1, -1) E ( 2, -1) , F (1, 2)
Length of median AD=
Length of median BE=
Length of median CF =
Lengths of medians are
.
Illustration: Three consecutive vertices of a parallelogram are A(1,2), B(1,0) C(4,0). Find the fourth vertex D.
Solution: Let coordinates of D be (x,y). As ABCD is a parallelogram, the diagonals AC and BD bisect each other. If M is the mid-point of AC, then coordinates of M are
As M is the mid-point of BD also, coordinates of M are
We have
Coordinates of D are (4,2)
The centroid of a triangle is the point of concurrence of the medians of a triangle.
If G is the centroid of triangle ABC, then G divides the median AD in the ratio 2:1.
Let D be the mid-point of BC, the coordinates of D are
As G(x,y) divides AD in the ratio 2 : 1
and
Thus, the coordinates of the centroid are
Illustration: Find the third vertex of the triangle whose two vertices are (-3,1) and (0,-2) and the centroid is the origin.
Solution: Let the two given vertices be A(-3,1) and B(0,-2). Let the third vertex be C(x,y) . Coordinates of the centroid of is given by
.
As the centroid of is given to be the origin,
we have
Thus, the coordinates of the third vertex are (3,1).
