Question

À centrooid divides a medias into two
Parts If length of the larger part is
8 cm, then what is the length of the smaller
part?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the centroid divides the median into two parts such that the ratio of the larger part of smaller part is 2:1.

Let larger part be x and smaller part be y. Therefore, x:y = 2:1

=> x/y = 2/1

=> x = 2y

larger part = 2 × smaller part

smaller part = larger part/2

Here, x = 8

so,

smaller part = y = x/2 = 8/2 = 4
