let x axis be DEF  sum of perpendiculars on tangent  (x axis now)=y_A +y_B +y_C                              =3y_G   y_G  being y coordinate of centroid  of △ABC (same as y coordinate  of circumcentre) =R  Length of median=R+(R/2)=((3R)/2)  hence  y_A +y_B +y_C =3y_G   ________________________  We can see that centroid and  circumcentre are the same for  an equilateral triangle; y_G  = R  as circle touches x-axis.    Hence   y_A +y_B +y_C  = 3R  which is twice the length of a  median ( = R+Rsin 30°) = ((3R)/2)   ________________________                      =2(length of median).
