Answer:

ZM = 8

WM = 12

XZ = 7

XN = 21

LZ = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The centroid of a triangle is the point of intersection of the midpoint of the each of the three sides of a triangle. The centroid of a triangle is located inside the triangle and it is known as the center of gravity.

The centroid theorem for a triangle states that the centroid of a triangle is located at 2/3 of the distance from the vertex of the triangle of the middle of the opposite side.

ZM = (2/3)WM (centroid theorem)

Therefore: WZ = (1/3)WM

WM = 3WZ = 3 * 4 = 12

ZM = (2/3) * WM = 2/3 * 12 = 8

ZN = (2/3)XN (centroid theorem)

XN = (3/2)ZN = 3/2 * 14 = 21

XN = 21

XZ + ZN = XN

XZ + 14 = 21

XZ = 7

LZ = (2/3)LY (centroid theorem)

Therefore: ZY = (1/3)LY

LY = 3ZY = 3 * 10 = 30

LZ = (2/3) * LY = 2/3 * 30 = 20

Can someone help me with this plz I am so confused??
ruslelena [56]

F= -1 2/3 or 5/3

In order to find the answer all you have to do is multiply both sides by -4/3.

-3/4f × -4/3 = f

-4/3 × 5/4 = -20/12

-20/12 simplified is -5/3 or -1 2/3
