      Question

      In triangle ABC, vertices are A(2, 3), B(8, 5) and C(4,

      βˆ’1). Find the coordinates of the centroid and the length of the median from A.
      A √23 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B √11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C √17 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D √13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Centroid G = ((x₁ + xβ‚‚ + x₃)/3 , (y₁ + yβ‚‚ + y₃)/3) x-coordinate = (2 + 8 + 4)/3 = 14/3 y-coordinate = (3 + 5 βˆ’ 1)/3 = 7/3 So G(14/3, 7/3) Median from A joins A(2,3) to midpoint of BC. Midpoint of BC: B(8,5), C(4,βˆ’1) M = ((8+4)/2, (5βˆ’1)/2) = (12/2, 4/2) = (6,2) Length AM = √[(6 βˆ’ 2)Β² + (2 βˆ’ 3)Β²] = √[(4)Β² + (βˆ’1)Β²] = √(16 + 1) = √17.
