Question

In triangle ABC, Centroid D is on median AM. AD=x+3 and DM = 2x - 1. Find AM. PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE MEDALS

Answer 1

Centroid of a triangle is the point of intersection of all its three medians.
The centre of mass of a uniform object is also called as Centroid.

Answer 2

D is the middle of A and M so AD/DM and are the line the i need to add and find the A/M of the segment

Answer 4

Just to be clear. Taking the original post:

1. extend a segment through C and D. Hits AB at, say, P.
2. Connect P and M. How does this line relate to AC?
2. Take the midpoints of AD and DC, Q and R respectively. Connect them. How does THIS segment relate to AC?

Think about the midline theorem.

Answer 5

I am still so confused, I am TERRIBLE at geometry
