    Points Vectors
AI Thread Summary
To convert points to vectors, each point's coordinates can be expressed as a vector in the form of (x, y, z). For the triangle median lengths, the formula involves calculating the midpoint of each side and using the distance formula to find the lengths of the medians. The discussion emphasizes the importance of showing prior attempts at solving the problem to receive effective help. Engaging with the community and utilizing available resources can enhance understanding. Seeking assistance is encouraged, but demonstrating effort is key to receiving support.

Hi, I'm Xairylle and I need a little help with this. I think it's kind of basic electromagnetics stuff but I don't know how this goes given that all I've got is a problem nothing else. I am so sorry, I didn't see this room in the forum earlier so I made a post in the General Engineering section. Is that a bad thing? If so, I am sorry.

1. Express each of the given points into its equivalent vector
a) A(2,1,-5)
b) A(1,4,6) B(5,-3,0)

2. Find the lengths of the medians of the given triangles ABC
a) A(2,1,3) B(3,-1,-2) C(0,2,-1)

I need solutions and answers since I really can't understand. Please help if it's not too much trouble. Thank you.

Welcome xairylle to the physics forums! :smile:
You will see there are lots of folks willing to help you, but first you need to show what you have tried. (You may have noticed this https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=94388) at the top of this page. It would be useful to read through that).
