  • Had to relearn this in order to help friend very helpful I had lost notes

    If G is in the middle it is going to be AG=2/3*AF. I`ll try to explain:

    As you can see from the video, dividing AF by 3 gives us GF (G in the middle) and AG is two times GF. So GF=AF/3 (or 1/3*AF it's the same thing) and two times that is... AG=2*AF/3 which can be written as (same as) AG=2/3*AF. Put all of this on paper it's going to make much more sense :)

  • Errg, my teacher has given an equation for doing this.. He sets it up (as the middle would be G) GF=2/3 AG.. I don't understand his teaching of this.. if you have any help that you could lend me it'd be GREATLY appreciated. :)

  • Thank you! You just saved me hours of frustration!!
