SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on converting points to vectors and calculating median lengths in triangles using basic principles of electromagnetics and geometry. The specific points provided include A(2,1,-5), A(1,4,6), and B(5,-3,0) for vector conversion, and triangle vertices A(2,1,3), B(3,-1,-2), and C(0,2,-1) for median length calculations. Participants emphasize the importance of demonstrating prior attempts to solve the problems for effective assistance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of vector representation in three-dimensional space
  • Knowledge of triangle median formulas
  • Familiarity with basic electromagnetics concepts
  • Ability to perform calculations involving coordinates and distances
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn vector conversion techniques in three-dimensional geometry

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).
