A median of a triangle measures 1 m. What is the measure of the corresponding median of a similar triangle with an area 3 times the area of the original triangle?
:
When you want 3 times the area, the sides are multiplied by sqrt%283%29
This would also be true for the median. 1 * sqrt%283%29 = 1.732 meters
