Lesson 16
Weighted Averages in a Triangle
Problem 1
Triangle ABC and its medians are shown.
Select all statements that are true.
The medians intersect at \left(\frac{1}{3}, 2\right).
The medians and altitudes are the same for this triangle.
An equation for median AE is y=\frac{6}{7}(x+2).
Point G is \frac{2}{3} of the way from A to E.
Median BF is congruent to median CD.
