Assignment 6: Problems
Relationship of Triangle Areas
Let's take a Triangle...
...and construct
its Medians.
We can now build
another triangle that has Sides which are the lengths of the Original
Triangle Medians:
The Yellow triangle has sides
that are the
lengths of the Original triangle Medians.
The series of pictures that
follows tells a story about a relationship between the two triangles.
&
Can you interpret
the story?
What conclusion does
it reach?
Can you explain the
steps to reach the conclusion?
Is the conclusion
valid for all triangles constructed the way these were?
