In triangle ABC, BG = 24 mm. What is the length of segment GE?
Solution:
Given, the length of BG = 24mm
We have to find the length of the segment GE.
From the triangle ABC,
G is the point where all the medians intersect.
Point G is described as the triangle’s center of gravity or centroid.
Centroid is defined as the point of intersection of the medians and divides each median in the ratio of 2:1
So, BG/GE = 2/1
BG = (2/1)GE
GE = BG/2
GE = 24/2
GE = 12 mm
Therefore, the length of the segment GE is 12 mm.
In triangle ABC, BG = 24 mm. What is the length of segment GE?
Summary:
In triangle ABC, BG = 24 mm, the length of the segment GE is 12 mm.
