PT is 2 units in length.

In a triangle, the centroid is a point of concurrency where the three medians intersect.

Each median divides the opposite side into two segments, with the ratio of 2:1.

If PQ is a median and T is the centroid, then PT is one-third of PQ. Therefore, if PQ = 6, then:

PT = (1/3) * PQ

= (1/3) * 6

= 2

So, PT is 2 units in length.

In triangle, NOP,T is the centroid. If PQ=6, find PT.-example-1
