1 answer:
Answer:
a) QT = 8
b) QN = 24
c) QP = 23
d) MP = 46
e) RT = 6
f) TP = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached
If T is the centroid of<MNP, then the following are true;
TN = 2QT
Given TN = 16
16 = 2QT
QT = 16/2
QT = 8
QN = QT + TN
QN = 8 + 16
QN = 24
MQ + QP = MP and MQ = QP
If MQ = 23
QP = 23
Recall that MP = MQ + QP
MP = MQ + MQ
MP = 2MQ
MP = 2(23)
MP = 46
Similarly, TP = 2RT
RT = TP/2
Also RP = RT + TP
RP = RT + 2 RT
RP = 3RT
18 = 3RT
RT = 18/3
RT = 6
Recall that TP = 2RT
TP = 2(6)
TP = 12
