you want to find BE ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes want the know the length of BE
OpenStudy (rsadhvika):
hint :
centroid divided the median in 2:1 ratio
OpenStudy (anonymous):
centroid divided the median in ration 2:1
so.. if bg=10 be= \[(2x \div3)\times10\]
OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):
First of all u should know that the centroid of a triangle divides each median into ratio 2:1

yes I know that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
There will be a ratio ratio 2:1 when cetroid divided the median.
OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):
BG=2x=10
remaining part =x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so do I do 10 times 2 which equals 20?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no.. 10/2 =5

No you will have BG+ GE= BE
BG=10
GE=10/2
BE=?
10+10/2=BE
10+5=BE
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay so the answer would be 15
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yup good job
