Question
Given a triangle ABC with ‘G’ as centroid.
Find GE.
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
Hint:
Centroid divides the line of joining of the centroid and the vertices of a triangle in the ratio 2:3.
The correct answer is: 2
In any Triangle:
Centroid G divides the line joining the centroid and vertices of a triangle into 2:1 ratio.
>>>Given That:
>>BG = 4
>>we know BG = 
BE implies BE = 
BG. Then,
BE = 
BE = 6
>>> From figure, BE = BG + GE, Then:
GE = BE -BG
GE = 6-4
GE = 2
>>>Therefore, the length of the GE is 2 units.
