Answer to Problem 43HP
The reason why the centroid of the triangle is its centre of gravity is explained below.
Explanation of Solution
Each median divides the triangle into two smaller triangles of equal area, so the triangle can be balanced along any one of those lines. To balance the triangle on one point, you need to find the point where these three balance lines intersect.
The balancing point for a rectangle is the intersection of the segments connecting the midpoints of the opposite sides, since each segments connecting these midpoints of a pair of opposite sides divides the rectangle into two parts with equal area.

- Solve this question and check if my answer provided is correctarrow_forwardProof: LN⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯LN¯ divides quadrilateral KLMN into two triangles. The sum of the angle measures in each triangle is ˚, so the sum of the angle measures for both triangles is ˚. So, m∠K+m∠L+m∠M+m∠N=m∠K+m∠L+m∠M+m∠N=˚. Because ∠K≅∠M∠K≅∠M and ∠N≅∠L, m∠K=m∠M∠N≅∠L, m∠K=m∠M and m∠N=m∠Lm∠N=m∠L by the definition of congruence. By the Substitution Property of Equality, m∠K+m∠L+m∠K+m∠L=m∠K+m∠L+m∠K+m∠L=°,°, so (m∠K)+ m∠K+ (m∠L)= m∠L= ˚. Dividing each side by gives m∠K+m∠L=m∠K+m∠L= °.°. The consecutive angles are supplementary, so KN⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯∥LM⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯KN¯∥LM¯ by the Converse of the Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem. Likewise, (m∠K)+m∠K+ (m∠N)=m∠N= ˚, or m∠K+m∠N=m∠K+m∠N= ˚. So these consecutive angles are supplementary and KL⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯∥NM⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯KL¯∥NM¯ by the Converse of the Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem. Opposite sides are parallel, so quadrilateral KLMN is a parallelogram.arrow_forwardQuadrilateral BCDE is similar to quadrilateral FGHI. Find the measure of side FG.
