Derivation : How to find the length of a median of a triangle

[@rkk-ho3pe]

Hi, Can you let me know which whiteboard app do you use for teaching ? Also, is it available on windows ?

Nice

Nice! ∆ ABC → BC = a = a/2 + a/2 = BD + CD; AB = c; AC = b; AD = m/2 = ? AE = 2AD = AD + ED = m → AC = BE↔AB = CE → m^2 + a^2 = 2(b^2 + c^2 ) → m/2 = (1/2)√(2(b^2 + c^2 ) - a^2)

Angoli A,B,C,opposite fron a,b,c...m=(bsinC/2sinB)√(1+(b/c)^2+2bcosA/c)...gli angoli A,B,C si possono calcolare con Briggs

I still hate geometry so ... OK lets def coord ... B(-a/2,0) C(a/2,0) A(x,y) dist AB : (x+a/2)²+y²=c² (I) dist AC : (x-a/2)²+y²=b² (II) (I)-(II) : 2ax = c²-b² x = (c²-b²)/2a m²=x²+y² (I) : x²+ax+a²/4+y²=c² m²= c²-a²/4 -ax = c² -a²/4 -c²/2 +b²/2 = (1/4) (2b²+2c²-a²) answer = (1/2) sqrt (2b²+2c²-a²)
