SOLUTION: An median of a triangle line segment from a vertex perpendivular to opposite side. Find the length of median with vertices V1=(3,-2),(-4,1),(3,-5)

Question 1085967: An median of a triangle line segment from a vertex perpendivular to opposite side. Find the length of median with vertices
V1=(3,-2),(-4,1),(3,-5)
