Chapter 9.1, Problem 11P
To determine

To prove: The line joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is half to the length of its third side.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The points are P1(a,b)andP2(c,d) .

Formula used: M=(x1+x22,y1+y22) and MP1=MP2=12P1P2

Proof: Get the midpoints first.

  M=(a+c2,b+d2)

Now, calculate MP1 ,

  MP1=(α+c2a)2+(b+d2b)2=(c2a2)2+(d2b2)2=a24+b24+c24+d242ac42bd4=(a2+b2+c2+d22ac2bd2)

Similarly, MP2 ,

  MP2=(α+c2c)2+(b+d2d)2=(a2c2)2+(b2d2)2=a24+b24+c24+d242ac42bd4=(a2+b2+c2+d22ac2bd2)

Now,

  12P1P2=((ac)2+(bd)22)=(a22ac+c2+b22bc+d22)=(a2+b2+c2+d22ac2bd2)

Hence, MP1=MP2=12P1P2
