Let the vertex of a triangle be , and the mid-point of the side be . If the centroid of this triangle is and its circumcenter is , then is equal to:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Let the coordinates of vertex be C(x_2, y_2)AB(5, -1)\dfrac{1 + x_1}{2} = 5 \Rightarrow x_1 = 9\dfrac{2 + y_1}{2} = -1 \Rightarrow y_1 = -4B \equiv (9, -4)\triangle ABC(3, 4)\dfrac{1 + 9 + x_2}{3} = 3 \Rightarrow x_2 = -1\dfrac{2 - 4 + y_2}{3} = 4 \Rightarrow y_2 = 14C \equiv (-1, 14)(\alpha, \beta)AB(5, -1)\dfrac{-4 - 2}{9 - 1} = -\dfrac{3}{4}\dfrac{4}{3}ABy - (-1) = \dfrac{4}{3}(x - 5) \Rightarrow 4x - 3y = 23AC and the slope is .
