Question

In Triangle JLN, JP = 16 Find PM. Enter your answer as a number.

Answer 1

PM = 8

Explanation:

P is the Centroid of the triangle JLN.

Centroid of a triangle divide the medians in the ratio 2 : 1

Therefore,

JP : PM = 2 : 1

Let JP = 2x & PM = x

So, 2x = 16 (JP = 16)

x = 16/2

x = 8

PM = 8 ( PM =x)
