In ΔXYZ , if G is the centroid and XL is the median with length 18 cm, then the length of XG is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e 12 cm.
| Understanding/Application |
|
In ΔXYZ, if G is the centroid and XL is the median. Length of the median XL = 18 cm |
|
Centroid G divides the median XL in the ratio 2: 1. XG: GL = 2: 1 Length of XG = (2 × XL)/2+1 = (2 × 18)/3 = 12 cm |
