Question

S is the centroid of the triangle. Find IT if ST =9​

Answer 1

27

Explanation:

The centroid divide a median in two parts, with ratio 1/3 and 2/3.

In particular the part between the centroid and the point where the median touches the side is 1/3 of the median.

We can build this proportion:

ST : 1/3 = IT : 3/3

9 : 1/3 = IT : 1

IT = 9 * 3 = 27
