設a,b,c分別為三角形三邊,m_a, m_b, m_c為對應三條中線。
已知m_a=9, m_b=12, m_c=15 (cm略去)
由計算中線的公式,有
m_a = 1/2*√[2b^2 + 2c^2 - a^2] = 9
m_b = 1/2*√[2a^2 + 2c^2 - b^2] = 12
m_c = 1/2*√[2a^2 + 2b^2 - c^2] = 15
√[2b^2 + 2c^2 - a^2] = 18
√[2a^2 + 2c^2 - b^2] = 24
√[2a^2 + 2b^2 - c^2] = 30
2b^2 + 2c^2 - a^2 = 324 ... (1)
2a^2 + 2c^2 - b^2 = 576 ... (2)
2a^2 + 2b^2 - c^2 = 900 ... (3)
(1)+(2)+(3): a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = (324+576+900)/3 = 600 ... (4)
2(4) - (1): a^2 = 292
2(4) - (2): b^2 = 208
2(4) - (3): c^2 = 100
Answer: a = 2√73 (cm), b = 4√13 (cm), c = 10 (cm)
對於這題的答案,應為 2√73 (cm)。
