Let AD, BF and CF be the medians from vertex A, B and C to BC, CA and AB respectively.

∴ Co-ordinates of D =

\(\frac{0+6}{2},\frac{4+0}{2},\frac{0+0}{2}\) = (3 , 2 , 0)

Co-ordinates of E =

\(\frac{0+0}{2},\frac{0+4}{2},\frac{6+0}{2}\) = (3 , 0 , 3)

Co-ordinates of F =

\(\frac{0+0}{2},\frac{0+4}{2},\frac{6+0}{2}\) = (3 , 0 , 3)

∴ Length of AD =

\({\sqrt{{0-3)}^{2}+(0-2)^{2}+(6-0)^{2}}}\\=\sqrt{9+4+36}\\=\sqrt{49}\\=7\)

Length of BE = 

\({\sqrt{{(0-3)}^{2}+(4-0)^{2}+(0-3)^{2}}}\\=\sqrt{9+16+9}\\=\sqrt{34}\)

Length of CF =

\({\sqrt{{(6-0)}^{2}+(0-2)^{2}+(0-3)^{2}}}\\=\sqrt{36+4+9}\\=\sqrt{49}\\=7\)

∴ Length of the medians are 7, \(\sqrt{34}\), 7
