Answer:

9

Explanation:

You have to read your givens carefully and then get rid of the information you don't need.

The key fact is that CM = 3

The centroid divides the median into a one to two ratio. So

1/2 = CM/DM where D is apex of the triangle. It is where two of the sides meet, plus the median going to C.

1/2 = 3/DM Cross multiply

DM = 2 * 3

DM = 6

Therefore the length of the median going to C is DM + CM = 6 +3 =9
