Median of a Triangle in LaTeX
The median of a triangle can be depicted using $\LaTeX.$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
We begin by drawing a basic triangle:
unitsize(0.5 cm);
pair A, B, C;
A = (3,6); B = (-5,2); C = (7,-8);
draw(A--B--C--cycle);
Which gives:
The median is located halfway between the points so we add:
unitsize(0.5 cm);
pair A, B, C, D, E, F, G;
A = (3,6); B = (-5,2); C = (7,-8); D = (B + C)/2; E = (A + C)/2; F = (A + B)/2;
draw(A--D,red); draw(B--E,red); draw(C--F,red); draw(A--B--C--cycle);
Which gives:
This principal can be applied to any triangle.
