Answer: 40</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
JQ is longer than QN. We can see this visually, but the rule for something like this is the segment from the vertex to the centroid is longer compared to the segment that spans from the centroid to the midpoint.
See the diagram below.
The ratio of these two lengths is 2:1, meaning that JQ is twice as long compared to QN. This is one property of the segments that form when we construct the centroid (recall that the centroid is the intersection of the medians)
We know that JN = 60
Let x = JQ and y = QN
The ratio of x to y is x/y and this is 2/1
x/y = 2/1
1*x = y*2
x = 2y
Now use the segment addition postulate
JQ + QN = JN
x + y = 60
2y + y = 60
3y = 60
y = 60/3
y = 20
QN = 20
JQ = 2*y = 2*QN = 2*20 = 40
--------------
We have
JQ = 40 and QN = 20
We see that JQ is twice as larger as QN and that JQ + QN is equal to 60.
It's 2/5 because they both are divisible by 3 and when you divide by three on both numerator and denominator you get 2/5.
3° and 177°
supplementary angles sum to 180°
let x be an angle then the other angle is 59x
x + 59x = 180
60x = 180 ( divide both sides by 60 )
x =
= 3
the angles are 3° and (59 × 3 )= 177°
