Given:
In triangle ABC, point D is the centroid, and BD = 6.
To find:
The measure of side BE.
Solution:
We know that the centroid divides each median in 2:1.
In the given figure BE is a median and point D is the centroid. It means point D divides the segment BE in 2:1.
Let BD and DE are 2x and x respectively.
We have, BD = 6 units.
Now,
Therefore, the measure of side BE is 9 units.

Answer:
Angle DCA = Angle CAB
Angle A + Angle B + Angle C = 180°
18 + 3x + 3x = 180
27°
Step-by-step explanation:
For 1:
Angle DCA = Angle CAB (Alternate angles are equal)
Angle DCA = 18°, Hence, CAB = 18°
2)
Angle A + Angle B + Angle C = 180° (sum of interior angles in a triangle)
3.)
Angle A = 18°
Angle B = 3x
Angle C = 3x
18° + 3x + 3x = 180°
4.)
18 + 3x + 3x = 180
18 + 6x = 180
6x = 180 - 18
6x = 162
x = 162 / 6
x = 27°
