In triangle ∆PQR, C is the centroid.
1 answer:
Refer to the redrawn figure below.
Because C is the centroid,
PZ = ZR; QY = YR; and PX = XQ.
Part a.
If CY = 10, then PC = 2*CY = 20
PY = PC + CY = 20 + 10 = 30
Answer:
PC = 20
PY = 30
Part b.
If QC = 10, then ZC = QC/2 = 5
ZQ = ZC + QC = 5 + 10 = 15
Answer:
ZC = 5
ZQ = 15
Part c.
Given: PX = 20.
Because the median bisects side PQ, therefore PX = QX = 20
PQ = PX + QX = 40
Answer:
PQ = 40

The right fraction represents the percentage; 42 over 100 (100 is the total), or 0.42.
The left fraction is the part number over the whole number. The whole number is unknown, so we use 'x'.
Your answer is 75.
