The centroid is the point of concurrency of the medians of a triangle.

YJ = 8

Practice makes perfect
The centroid is the point of concurrency of the medians of a triangle. In the given diagram, P is the centroid.

Since P is the centroid, ZJ is the median from Z to the midpoint J of XY. Therefore, XJ and YJ have the same length. XJ = YJ = 8
