6x + 28 = 25(4)
6x+28 = 100
6x = 100 - 28
6x = 72
x = 12

In B E C, F is the centroid, and AC = 12. Find A F and F C

klemol [59]

bearing in mind that the centroid in a triangle cuts each of the three medians in a 2:1 ratio.

since we know that A C = 12, let's split it in a 2:1 ratio then, cleary from the picture the larger is F C, so F C : A F is on a 2:1 ratio.

$\bf A C=A F+F C\qquad \qquad \cfrac{F C}{A F}=\cfrac{2}{1}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{2\cdot \frac{12}{2+1}}{1\cdot \frac{12}{2+1}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 4}{1\cdot 4}\implies \cfrac{8}{4}$

$Formula\ for\ circumference \ of\ circle:\ \ \ 2 \pi r\\\\
144= 2 \pi r\ \ \ \ | divide\ by\ 2 \pi\\\\
r=\frac{72}{\pi}cm\\\\diameter=2radius\\\\
diameter=2r=2*\frac{72}{\pi}=\boxed{\frac{144}{\pi}}$
