Question

Point G is the centroid of the triangle. The length of BG= 10.

What is the length of BE?

30

15

20

18

Answer 1

What is it that is preventing you from understanding this?

Answer 2

it would be 18

Answer 3

right @Hero

Answer 4

And how exactly did you get that? I don't believe that is correct

Answer 5

when i did 10 times 18 which equal 180

Answer 6

Hint: BG is 2/3 of BE

Answer 7

20 @Hero

Answer 8

You're guessing

Answer 9

no iam not lol tht mean

Answer 10

You ARE guessing. I know because you have no idea what the answer is and you are not using any kind of reasoning to develop a solution to the problem.

Answer 11

yes iam iam trying to figure it out youre begin mean can y give me the answer and tell me how you got it

Answer 12

Well, for one, I know the definition of the centroid of a triangle. That's the starting point.

Answer 13

i think it would be 30 becasue youwould have to flip 2/3 and make it 3/2 and you times 10 anad three right

Answer 14

The longest segment from the vertex to the centroid is always 2/3 and the shortest segment is always 1/3.

In this case,
BG = 2/3 the length of BE
GE = 1/3 the length of BE

Since BG = 10, BE must be 15 since
1/3 of 15 is 5
2/3 of 15 is 10
3/3 of 15 is 15

Answer 15

Uh, no...way off. You don't "flip" anything

Answer 16

ohhh ok
