Construct a triangle ABC in which BC= 6cm medians BE & CF are 7.5 cm & 9 cm resp. Plz also write steps Share with your friends Share 0 Neha Sethi answered this BC=6cm,BE=7.5cm and CF=9cmLet G be the point of intersection of the medians BE and CF.Then G divides BE and CF in the ratio 2:1Therefore, BG=7.5×23=5cm and GE=2.5cmand CG=9×23=6cm and GF=3cmSteps for Construction:1) Draw BC=6cm2) With B as centre and radius 5cm draw an arc. With C as centre and radius 6cmdraw another arc. Let the two arcs cut at G3) Join GB and GC to get △GBC.4) Produce BG to E so that GE=2.5cm and produce CG to F so that GF=3cmand join BF and CE.5) Produce BF and CE to meet at A6) Therefore, the above △ABC is the required triangle. 0 View Full Answer
