Check the picture below.
make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.
Recall that the centroid of a triangle (the point where the three medians intersect) divides each median into parts in the ratio 2:1, with the
centroid being twice as close to the midpoint of a side as it is to the
opposite vertex.
Thus, the ratio of segment EG to segment BG is 1 : 2
Therefore, given that segment EG = 27 in, then segment BG = 2(27) = 54 in. and segment BE = 27 + 54 = 81 in.
Answer: Well... does it give you the approximate length or actual length of the butterfly? If so, you would take that length and multiply it by 5. That would give you the length of the 5 butterfly lined up together.
If it does not give you the approximate length or actual length, look up the length on google. (Google Answer- Size: 2.5" - 4.0" range.)
Take that and multiply it by five to get the length of the 5 butterflies.
