In a \(\Delta\)ABC, \(\overline{AD}, \ \overline{BE}\)  and \(\overline{CF}\)  are three medians. Then the ratio (AD2  + BE2  + CF2) : (AB2  + AC2  + BC2) is –
Options:
A) equal to \(\cfrac{3}{4}\)
B) less than \(\cfrac{3}{4}\)

Dear Student,

Usually, medians, angle bisectors and altitudes drawn from the same vertex of a triangle are different line segments. But in special triangles such as isosceles and equilateral, they can overlap. thus we consider medians and altitudes are same.

Keep learning with us!!
