Question

In triangle RST, VT =60 in. What is the length of TX?

Answer 1

Answer:

$TX=40in$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph, we observe that point X is a barycenter, that is, it's formed by the intersection of the three medians of a triangle.

This intersection points gives a theorem that states

"The medians of a triangle intercept at a points that is two thirds the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side".

So, if we apply here such theorem, we have

$TX=\frac{2}{3}VT\\TX=\frac{2}{3}60in\\ TX=40in$

Therefore, $TX=40in$
