Answer:

  • a)  11, d) 25, e) 14, b) 25, c) 28, f) 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • ΔBDF, with H is the centroid of BDF, DF = 50, CF = 42, and BH = 22

To find

  • HE , DE , CH, EF,  HF, BE

Solution

As per definition of the centroid, the points C, E and G are midpoints of respective sides and the length of short and long distances from the centroid have ratio of 1/3 and 2/3 of median

  • a) HE =  1/2BH = 1/2(22) = 11
  • d) DE =  1/2DF = 1/2(50) = 25
  • e) CH =  1/3CF = 1/3(42) = 14
  • b) EF =  DE = 25
  • c) HF =  2/3CF = 2/3(42) = 28
  • f) BE =BH + HE = 22 + 11 = 33
