Question

What is the value of y? A. y = -1 B. y = 0 C. y = 1 D. y = 3

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The centroid divides the length of each median in 2:1 ratio.

The length of the part between the vertex and the centroid is twice the length between the centroid and the mid-point of the opposite side.

In case of median KM,

K is the vertex and M is the midpoint of the side JL

KT = 2× TM

5y+3 = 2(y+3)

5y+3= 2y +6

5y-2y= 6-3

3y = 3

y= 1
