(1) If l(RG) = 2.5 then l(GC) = 5.
We know that the centroid divides each median in the ratio 2:1.
So, CG/RG = 2/1
CG/2.5 = 2/1
CG = 2 × 2.5
= 5
(2) If l(BG) = 6 then l(BQ) = 9.
We know that the centroid divides each median in the ratio 2:1.
So, BG/QG = 2/1
6/QG = 2/1
6 × 1 = 2 × QG
6 = 2 × QG
6/2 = QG
QG = 3.
Since we have to find I(BQ), and from the figure it can be seen that,
(BQ) = I(BG) + I(QG)
So, I(BQ) = 6 + 3
I(BQ) = 9.
(3) If l(AP) = 6 then l(AG) = 4 and l(GP) = 2.
We know that the centroid divides each median in the ratio 2:1.
Here both I(AG) and I(GP) are unknown so,
Let I(AG), I(GP) be 2x and x respectively, from equation (i)
I(AP) = I(AG) + I(GP)
6 = 2x + x
6 = 3x
6/3 = x
x = 2.
I(AG) = 2x = 2×2 = 4.
I(GP) = x = 2.
