Question

From the figure below if J is the center △ SUZ
Then SJ = .....

help!!!

Answer 1

`SJ = 6`

Explanation:

Given that J is the center of the ∆SUZ, therefore, J is the centroid of the ∆.

According to the centroid theorem, thus:

Centroid J will divide VS into VJ and SJ into the ratio of 1 : 2.

This means, SJ is twice the length of VJ.

Therefore, given that VJ = 3, thus:

SJ = 2(3) = 6.

SJ = 6 units.
