Question

Triangle EFG has vertices E (-1, 3), F (3, 4) and G (2, 1) as shown. CD is a midsegment of triangle EFG. Find the coordinates of C and D.

Expert Solution
Step 1

To find:

The coordinates of C and D.

Given:

The coordinates of vertices of the triangle EFG is E -1, 3, F 3, 4 and G 2,1. CD is midsegment of triangle EFG.

Formula used:

The mid point Mx,y of line segment from  Ax1,y1 to Bx2,y2.

Mx,y=x2+x12,y2+y12
