Answer:
AY = 16
IY = 9
FG = 30
PA = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>The </em><em>centroid </em><em>of the triangle </em><em>divides each median</em><em> at the ratio </em><em>1: 2</em><em> from </em><em>the base</em>
Let us solve the problem
In Δ AFT
∵ Y is the centroid
∵ AP, TI, and FG are medians
→ By using the rule above
∴ Y divides AP at ratio 1: 2 from the base FT
∴ AY = 2 YP
∵ YP = 8
∴ AY = 2(8)
∴ AY = 16
∵ PA = AY + YP
∴ AP = 16 + 8
∴ AP = 24
∵ Y divides TI at ratio 1: 2 from the base FA
∴ TY = 2 IY
∵ TY = 18
∴ 18 = 2
→ Divide both sides by 2
∴ 9 = IY
∴ IY = 9
∵ Y divides FG at ratio 1:2 from the base AT
∴ FY = 2 YG
∵ FY = 20
∴ 20 = 2 YG
→ Divide both sides by 2
∴ 10 = YG
∴ YG = 10
∵ FG = YG + FY
∴ FG = 10 + 20
∴ FG = 30
So, XZ= 7x+1 and PZ= 4x-1. To figure out XP we have to subtract those two.
(7x+1)-(4x-1)
3x-2
3(8)-2
24-2
22
XP=22
