Luis scored 22 out of 49 shots. How many would he be expected to score in 100 shots
tell you what. i'll find the length of the medians and you can fill in the blanks where they belong.
br
b = (2a,0)
r = (a/2,b/2) remember these things are medians. they go to the 1/2 way point of the line opposite the vertex they face.
br^2 = (2a - a/2)^2 + (0 - b/2)^2
br^2 = (3/2 a) ^2 + b^2 / 4
br^2 = 9/4 a^2 + b^2 / 4 we need to find some relationship between a and b.
let's try ab = bc
ab = 2a
bc = (2a - a)^2 + (b - 0)^2
bc = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)
ab = bc
2a = sqrt(a^2 + b^2) square both sides.
4a^2 = a^2 + b^2 subtract a^2 from both sides.
sqrt(3a^2) = sqrt(b^2)
sqrt(3)a = b
let's put b into br^2
br^2 = 9/4 a^2 + 3b^2 / 4
br^2 = 12 a^2 / 4
br^2 = 3a^2
br = sqrt(3) * a
cp
c = (a,b) ; p = (a,0) this is another application of the distance formula, and it is a good one.
cp^2 = (a - a)^2 + (b - 0)^2
cp^2 = 0 + b^2
cp^2 = b^2 which you can see from the diagram.
cp = sqrt(b^2)
cp = b but b = sqrt(3) * a
cp = sqrt(3)*a
aq
a = (0,0)
q = (3/2) a, b/2
aq^2 = (3a/2 -0)^2 + (b/2 - 0)^2
aq^2 = 9a^2/4 + b^2/4
but b = sqrt(3) * a
aq^2 = 9a^2 / 4 + (sqrt(3)*a)^2 /4
aq^2 = 9 a^2/ 4 + 3 a^2 / 4
aq^2 = 12 a^2/4
aq^2 = 3 a^2
aq = (sqrt 3) * a which agrees with the other two.
