Algebra.Com's Answer #185438 by richwmiller(17219)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! I would say you have your work cut out for yourself. \n" ); document.write( "Any line connecting the midpoints is parallel to a side of the original triangle \n" ); document.write( "Pick two of the points. \n" ); document.write( "Find the line that goes through them. \n" ); document.write( "Get the slope \n" ); document.write( "Plug in an the x,y. \n" ); document.write( "Use the same slope. Get the line. \n" ); document.write( "Do it two more times. \n" ); document.write( "Find where those lines intersect. \n" ); document.write( "The intersections will be the vertices. \n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
