In her professional lifestyle she is a payroll clerk but she's usually wanted her personal company. One of the extremely best issues in the globe for him is to gather badges but he is struggling to discover time for it. South Dakota is where I've always been living.

	~~== Theorem ==~~
	~~Let <math>a<~~/~~math>, <math>b<~~/~~math>, and <math>c<~~/~~math> be~~ the ~~lengths of the sides of a triangle. Let <math>d</math> be the length of a [[cevian~~]~~] to the side~~ of ~~length <math>a</math>~~. ~~If the cevian divides <math>~~a~~</math> into two segments of length <math>m</math> and <math>n</math>, with <math>m</math> adjacent to <math>c</math> and <math>n</math> adjacent to <math>b</math>, then Stewart~~'s ~~theorem states that~~
	~~:<math>b^2m + c^2n = a(d^2 + mn)~~.~~\,</math>~~
	~~[[Apollonius' theorem]] is the special case where d is the length~~ of the ~~[[Median (geometry)\|Median]].~~

	~~The theorem may be written somewhat more symmetrically using signed lengths of segments,~~ in ~~other words~~ the ~~length ''AB''~~ is ~~taken to be positive or negative according~~ to ~~whether ''A''~~ is to the left or right of ''B'' in some fixed orientation of the line. In this formulation, the theorem states that if ''A'', ''B'', and ''C'' are collinear points, and ''P'' is any point, then<ref>Russell</ref>
	~~:<math>PA^2\cdot BC+PB^2\cdot CA-PC^2\cdot AB - BC\cdot CA\cdot AB =0.\,</math>~~

	~~== Proof ==~~

	~~The theorem can be proved as an application of the [[law of cosines]]:<ref>Follows Hutton & Gregory or, more closely, PlanetMath.</ref>~~

	~~Let ''θ'' be the angle between ''m'' and ''d'' and ''θ′'' the angle between ''n'' and ''d''. Then ''θ′'' is the supplement of ''θ'' and cos ''θ′'' = −cos ''θ''. The law of cosines~~ for ~~''θ'' and ''θ′'' states~~

	~~&= n^2 + d^2 + 2dn\cos\theta~~.~~\, \end{align}~~
	~~</math>~~

	~~Multiply the first equation by ''n'', the second equation by ''m'', and add to eliminate cos ''θ'', obtaining~~

			== Theorem ==
			Let <math>a</math>, <math>b</math>, and <math>c</math> be the lengths of the sides of a triangle. Let <math>d</math> be the length of a [[cevian]] to the side of length <math>a</math>. If the cevian divides <math>a</math> into two segments of length <math>m</math> and <math>n</math>, with <math>m</math> adjacent to <math>c</math> and <math>n</math> adjacent to <math>b</math>, then Stewart's theorem states that
			:<math>b^2m + c^2n = a(d^2 + mn).\,</math>
			[[Apollonius' theorem]] is the special case where d is the length of the [[Median (geometry)\|Median]].

			The theorem may be written somewhat more symmetrically using signed lengths of segments, in other words the length ''AB'' is taken to be positive or negative according to whether ''A'' is to the left or right of ''B'' in some fixed orientation of the line. In this formulation, the theorem states that if ''A'', ''B'', and ''C'' are collinear points, and ''P'' is any point, then<ref>Russell</ref>
			:<math>PA^2\cdot BC+PB^2\cdot CA-PC^2\cdot AB - BC\cdot CA\cdot AB =0.\,</math>

			== Proof ==
			[[File:Stewarts theorem.svg\|right\|300px\|Diagram of Stewart's theorem]]
			The theorem can be proved as an application of the [[law of cosines]]:<ref>Follows Hutton & Gregory or, more closely, PlanetMath.</ref>

			Let ''θ'' be the angle between ''m'' and ''d'' and ''θ′'' the angle between ''n'' and ''d''. Then ''θ′'' is the supplement of ''θ'' and cos ''θ′'' = −cos ''θ''. The law of cosines for ''θ'' and ''θ′'' states
			:<math>
			\begin{align}
			c^2 &= m^2 + d^2 - 2dm\cos\theta \\
			b^2 &= n^2 + d^2 - 2dn\cos\theta' \\
			&= n^2 + d^2 + 2dn\cos\theta.\, \end{align}
			</math>

			Multiply the first equation by ''n'', the second equation by ''m'', and add to eliminate cos ''θ'', obtaining
			:<math>
			\begin{align}
			&b^2m + c^2n \\
			&= nm^2 + n^2m + (m+n)d^2 \\
			&= (m+n)(mn + d^2) \\
			&= a(mn + d^2), \\
			\end{align}
			</math>
			which is the required equation.

			Alternatively, the theorem can be proved by drawing a perpendicular from the vertex of the triangle to the base and using the [[Pythagorean theorem]] to write the distances ''b'', ''c'', and ''d'' in terms of the altitude. The left and right hand sides of the equation then reduce algebraically to the same expression.<ref>This is a overview of the proof in Russell.</ref>

Hello and welcome. My name is Numbers Wunder. One of the extremely best issues in the globe for him is to collect badges but he is having difficulties to find time for it. My day job is a meter reader. Years in the past he moved to North Dakota and his family members enjoys it.<br><br>Also visit my site - [http://chatmast.com/index.php?do=/BookerSipessk/info/ home std test]
