If W bisects UV, then YW=(1/2)TY=30 => TY=2*30=60.
Otherwise there is insufficient information to give an answer.

This is an incomplete question, the image of given question is attached below.

Answer : The length of TY is, 60

Step-by-step explanation :

Give: In ΔTUV, Y is the centroid.

As we know the centroid of the triangle is divides median into 1:2 ratio. That means, the ratio is length of median from centroid to the side to length of median to opposite vertex.

Therefore,

WY : TY = 1 : 2

or,


(WY)/(TY)=(1)/(2)

Given:

WY = 30


(30)/(TY)=(1)/(2)


TY=2* 30


TY=60

Hence, the length of TY is, 60
