of the medians AA,BB, and CC. EXERCISES 1. Taking the same triangle as before, choose the axis of x along the side AB, but take the axis of y through A.coordinates of the vertices will then be : The ^:(0, 0); 5: (6,0); (7: (2, 6). Prove the theorem for this triangle.-C2^ The vertices of a triangle… … B:{ o> 9) A-<l>|) A:{a,0) Fig. 2 B:(b,0) the axes be chosen as in the text of § 2. Then the coordinatesof A will be (a, 0), where a may be any number whatever, r APPLICATIONS 57 positive, negative, or zero. The coordinates of B will be (6, 0),where h may be any number distinct from a: b=^…
