alleryStart learning →A median is 18 cm long. How far is the centroid from the vertex along it?
A12 cm
B6 cm
C9 cm
D15 cm
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 12 cm
The centroid cuts a median in the ratio 2:1 with the larger part next to the vertex, so the distance is two thirds of 18 cm, which is 12 cm.
