Question

In triangle ABC, BG = 24 mm. What is the length of segment GE?

Answer 1

(A) 12mm

Explanation:

Answer 2

we know that

The point G is where all
`3` medians intersect and is often described as the triangle's center of gravity or centroid. It is formed by the intersection of the medians. The centroid divides each median in a ratio of
`2:1`

so

`(BG)/(GE) =(2)/(1) \\\\ GE =(BG)/(2)`

`BG= 24\ mm`

substitute in the formula above

`GE =(24)/(2)`

`GE= 12\ mm`

therefore

the answer is

`GE= 12\ mm`
