The three medians of a triangle |
2009-11-18 |
|
From Nazrul: If the three medians of a triangle are equal, how can I prove (without using the property that the three medians of a triangle cut one another at a point of trisection) that the triangle is equilateral. Answered by Chris Fisher. |

From Katie: Q: A Triangle is positioned with one side on the x-axis, the coordinates
for the triangle are (-a,0), (a,0), (b,c)
a) Find the coordinates of the point of intersection of the perpendicular
bisectors of the sides
b) Find the coordinates of the point of intersection of the medians
c) Find the coordinates of the point of intersection of the altitudes Answered by Penny Nom. |

A problem concerning the medians of a triangle |
2007-08-01 |
|
From leeja: In a triangle ABC the sides BC and AC are given. It is also known that
the medians to these sides are perpendicular to each other. Calculate the
length of AB in terms of the other two given sides. Answered by Chris Fisher. |

From Jamie: I see you have a question about Q3 with even numbers but what about odd numbers? I have a problem with 19 numbers 36,45,49,53,55,56,59,61,62,65,67,70,75,81,82,86,89,94,99. Is there anyway the answer could be 81.5 because every time I do it I get 82 and my teacher tells me that is wrong. So in conclusion how do you do it? Answered by Penny Nom. |

Collinear Points |
2003-01-13 |
|
From Gary:
Which of the 4 points are collinear when you construct the following concurrent lines or rays of a triangle? - P(1), the point where the angle bisectors intersect.
- P(2), the point where the altitudes (or extensions) intersect (inside or outside of the triangle).
- P(3), the point where the medians intersect.
- P(4), the point where the perpendicular bisectors (or extensions) of the three sides of a triangle intersect.
This is for my 9-12 high school class in geometry. My name is Gary Thanks for your help. Gary

Mean and median |
2003-01-04 |
|
From Jan:
I have a question re: mean and median. I know what the difference is but just need some clarification on when you would use the mean and when you would use the median. Isn't it the case that with a skewed distribution the average (mean) would be higher or lower than the median, but with a normal distribution they would be very similar values? If you have any examples to help explain this that would be greatly appreciated. I am a teacher (of sorts!) and the person who is asking me the question is actually my boss! Answered by Penny Nom. |
