Question

Triangle D E F is shown. Lines are drawn from each point to the opposite side and intersect at point G. Line segments D C, E B, and F A are formed and cut each side into 2 equal parts. In triangle DEF, DG = 10 cm. What is CG? 5 cm 10 cm 15 cm 20 cm

Answer 1

the answer is 5 cm

Explanation:

Answer 2

5 cm

Explanation:

As we can see in the attached figure that G is the point at which the three medians of the triangle meet i.e we called the centroid

And, according to the property of the centroid, it divides the medians in ratio i.e 2:1

DG: CG = 2 : 1

Since the DG is 10 cm

So, the CG would be half of DG i.e 5 cm

Hence, the CG is 5 cm

Therefore the first option is correct
