Question

Instructions : Find EX if JX = 17 plz help I don’t understand

Answer 1

Answer:

51

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{3}$(x) = 17     (One third of the total equals seventeen)

x = 17(3)

x = 51

Centroids create two segments.

The larger makes up $\frac{2}{3}$ of the total.  

The smaller makes up $\frac{1}{3}$ of the total.

Answer 2

Answer:

EX = 51

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 intersecting lines in the triangle are medians.

The distance from the vertex to the centroid is twice the distance from the centroid to the midpoint, that is

EJ = 2 JX = 2 × 17 = 34 , then

EX = EJ + JX = 34 + 17 = 51
