The measures of CD = 33, EU = MU = 10.5, JD = 15.

In triangle CDE, the centroid U divides each median in a 2:1 ratio. This means that EM = 2MU and CU = 2UK.

We are given that EM = 21, so MU = EM/2 = 21/2 = 10.5

We are also given that UK = 12, so CU = 2UK = 2*12 = 24

To find the CD, we can use the following equation:

CD = CU + UD

Substituting the values we found, we get:

CD = 24 + 9 = 33

To find the EU, we can use the following equation:

EU = EM - MU

Substituting the values we found, we get:

EU = 21 - 10.5 = 10.5

To find JD, we can use the following equation:

JD = CU - UD

Substituting the values we found, we get:

JD = 24 - 9 = 15

Therefore, the measures of CD, EU, MU, and JD are 33, 10.5, 10.5, and 15, respectively.
