1. I've labeled the vertices of the triangle with P, Q and R. The center is C.Quote:

3. Do the other 2 vertices similarly.
4. Since you are horrible at math as you've stated several times I didn't use vectors which would be the simpliest way to do your question.
Thanks so much! I was in big trouble in maths!
