Point C is the centroid of triangle DEF. If GF, G being the midpoint of segment DE, is 9 meters long, what is the length of CF? Relationships in Triangles 300
Find the slope of the altitude drawn from vertex A. Relationships in Triangles 400
Find the slope of BC. The slope of the altitude drawn from vertex A will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of BC. So the slope of the altitude drawn from vertex A is 2.
Find the equation of the line that is the perpendicular bisector of segment CA. Relationships in Triangles 500
Step 1: Find the midpoint of CA. Step 2: Find the slope of CA. Step 3: The slope of the perpendicular bisector of CA is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of CA. So the slope of the perpendicular bisector equals. Step 4: Write the equation using point-slope form. Therefore the answer is:
