Question

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

Answer 1

IT = 13.5

Explanation:

Recall: According to the Centroid theorem the Centroid of is ⅔ of the distance of the vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side.

This means that:

ST = ⅔(IT)

ST = 9 (given)

Substitute

9 = ⅔(IT)

Multiply both sides by 3

3*9 = 2(IT)

27 = 2(IT)

Divide both sides by 2

27/2 = IT

IT = 13.5
