Question : 16
Total: 20
Find the lengths of the medians of the triangle with vertices A(0, 0, 6), B(0, 4, 0) and C(6, 0, 0).
Solution:  

Here A(0, 0, 6), B(0, 4, 0) and C(6, 0, 0) are the vertices of ΔABC.
Now D is mid-point of BC.
∴ Coordinates of D are
(
0+6
2
,
4+0
2
,
0+0
2
)
= (3 , 2 , 0)
∴ AD = (03)2+(02)2+(60)2
= 9+4+36 = 7 units
Also E is mid-point of AC
∴ Coordinates of E are (
0+6
2
,
0+0
2
,
6+0
2
)
= (3 , 0 , 3)
∴ BE = (03)2+(40)2+(03)2 = 9+16+9 = 34 units
Also F is mid point of AB
∴ Coordinates of F are
(
0+0
2
,
0+4
2
,
6+0
2
)
= (0 , 2 , 3)
∴ CF = (60)2+(02)2+(03)2 = 36+4+9 = 7 units
