In triangle PQR, C is the centroid.

A. If CY = 10, find PC and PY
B. If QC = 10, find ZC and ZQ
C. If PX = 20, find PQ

In triangle PQR C is the centroid A If CY 10 find PC and PY B If QC 10 find ZC and ZQ C If PX 20 find PQ class=

Respuesta :

Because point C is the centroid of the triangle, therefore:

Segments PZ = ZR;  RY = YQ; QX = XP

A.
If CY = 10, then

PC = 2*CY = 20
PY = PC + CY = 20 + 10 = 30
Answers:     

PC = 20     

PY = 30

B.
If QC = 10, then

ZC = QC/2 = 5
ZQ = ZC + QC = 5 + 10 = 15
Answers:     

ZC = 5       

ZQ = 15

C.
If PX = 20
because the median RX bisects side PQ, therefore PX = QX = 20
PQ = PX + QX = 40
Answer:      

PQ = 40
