Question

Draw rough sketch for the following:
In ∆ABC, BE is a median.

Answer 1

Hint: As the name signifies, median means the middle of something; we can find the median of several terms and can also be of a triangle. The median of a triangle is a line segment drawn from a vertex of the triangle such that it cuts the opposite side in two halves. Using this information, we can draw the triangle ABC with median BE.

Complete step-by-step answer:
One of the basic shapes in geometry is a triangle; it is a polygon with three vertices and joining them we get three sides and thus three angles. The sum of all the angles present in a triangle is 180°. There are certain types of triangles like the equilateral triangle, isosceles triangle, and right-angles triangle. We can use any type of triangle to draw the rough sketch; in the given figure we have drawn a scalene triangle, a scalene triangle is the one whose none of the sides are equal and thus the three angles of the triangle are also unequal, due to which the scalene triangle has no line of symmetry.

First, draw a triangle ABC and then from the vertex B draw a line segment on the opposite side that is the side AC, this line segment cuts the side BC in two equal parts, that is AE = EB. So, a rough sketch of this triangle ABC can be made as –

Note: As we are told to draw rough figure measurements can be of our choice however one must try to convey the concepts as clear as possible even through rough figure as in here median must be drawn in such a way that it must appear to bisect the base of the triangle.
