CH = 33
CX = 2/3(CH)

we know that

The centroid is the point where all three medians intersect and divides each median in a ratio of
2:1. Is described as the triangle's center of gravity.

In this problem

C-H, B-G and A-F ------> are medians

The point X is the centroid of the triangle ABC

so


CX=(2)/(3)CH

we have


CH=33\ ft

substitute


CX=(2)/(3)(33)=22\ ft

therefore

the answer is


CX=22\ ft
