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 cheap answer is, well, all we do is, grab the denominator of one and multiply the other by it, top and bottom, and grab the denominator of the other, and multiply the first one by that one too, that way, both will have the same denominator, and then you can simply check the numerator to see who's larger, let's do so.
