Exercise 4 Page 467

The centroid is the point of concurrency of the medians of a triangle. Use the Concurrency of Medians Theorem.

FG = 18

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

Using the Concurrency of Medians Theorem, we can write the following equation. FK = 2/3 FG We are given that FK= 12. By substituting it, we can find FG.
FK = 2/3 FG
12=2/3 FG
â–Ľ
Solve for FG
36 = 2 FG
18 =FG
FG=18
