Answer 4

There is a typo in the question. The "<RQ" should be segment RQ or maybe just RQ = 6.

Answer 6

The centroid divides each median in a ratio of 2:1. In other words, the centroid will always be 2/3 of the way along any given median.

So RQ is to QO as 2 is to 1.

RQ/QO = 6/x = 2/1 where x = QO.

@DeeBush96

6/x = 2/1

x = ?
