2. △ RST has coordinates R(­-4, -3), S(0, 5), and T(7, -3).

a. Graph △ RST in a coordinate plane.

b. Find the perimeter of △ RST.

c. Find the area of △ RST.

d. The centroid of a triangle is the intersection of its medians. Use the following steps to find the centroid of △ RST using segment partition.

i. Find the midpoint of . Label it N.

ii. Find the point, C, that partitions such that SC:CN has a ratio of 2:1 .

iii. Plot point C in your graph of △ RST.

e. Find and graph the midpoints of , ,and . Draw a segment connecting the vertex opposite each midpoint to the midpoint.

i. How does the intersection of the segments compare to point C from question 4?
