Q. The diagram shows a right-angled triangle.\newlineTwo of the vertices are at (34,28) (34,28) and (20,0) (20,0) .\newlineNOT TO SCALE\newlineThe midpoints of the sides of the triangle are A,B A, B and C C .\newlineFind the coordinates of A,B A, B and C C .\newlineA=(B=(C=( \begin{array}{l} A=( \\ B=( \\ C=( \end{array}
  1. Find Midpoint A: To find the midpoint AA, which is the midpoint of the hypotenuse, we need to average the xx-coordinates and yy-coordinates of the vertices (34,28)(34,28) and (20,0)(20,0).\newlineA=(34+202,28+02)A = \left(\frac{34 + 20}{2}, \frac{28 + 0}{2}\right)\newlineA=(542,282)A = \left(\frac{54}{2}, \frac{28}{2}\right)\newlineA=(27,14)A = (27, 14)
  2. Find Midpoint B: To find the midpoint B, we need to find the midpoint between the vertex at (34,28)(34,28) and the right angle, which is at (34,0)(34,0) since the triangle is right-angled and aligned with the axes.\newlineB=((34+34)/2,(28+0)/2)B = ((34 + 34) / 2, (28 + 0) / 2)\newlineB=(68/2,28/2)B = (68 / 2, 28 / 2)\newlineB=(34,14)B = (34, 14)
  3. Find Midpoint C: To find the midpoint C, we need to find the midpoint between the vertex at (20,0)(20,0) and the right angle, which is at (34,0)(34,0). \newlineC=(20+342,0+02)C = \left(\frac{20 + 34}{2}, \frac{0 + 0}{2}\right)\newlineC=(542,02)C = \left(\frac{54}{2}, \frac{0}{2}\right)\newlineC=(27,0)C = (27, 0)
