Exercise 3 Page 467

The centroid is the point of concurrency of the medians of a triangle. Use the Segment Addition Postulate.

CD = 18

The centroid is the point of concurrency of the medians of a triangle. In the given diagram, K is the centroid.

Since K is the centroid, FG is the median from F to the midpoint of the side CD, G. Therefore, CG and GD have the same length. CG = GD = 9 By the Segment Addition Postulate, we can rewrite CD as the sum of the two smaller segments.
CD = CG+GD
CD= 9+ 9
CD=18
