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.
