The medians of TUV are TX, UY, and VW. They meet at a single point Z.
(In other words, Z is the centroid of TUV.)
Suppose UZ=8, VW=33, and ZX=5.
Find the following lengths.

Answer:

TZ = 10 units

UY = 12 units

ZW = 11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Point Z is the centroid of ΔTUV.

Since, centroid of a triangle is located on each median so that it divides each median in the ratio of 2 : 1

Therefore, TZ = 2(ZX)

TZ = 2(5) = 10 units

UY = UZ + ZY

     = UZ + [tex]\frac{1}{2}(UZ)[/tex]

     = [tex]\frac{3}{2}UZ[/tex]

     = [tex]\frac{3}{2}\times 8[/tex]

     = 12 units

ZW = [tex]\frac{1}{3}(VW)[/tex]

      = [tex]\frac{1}{3}(33)[/tex]

      = 11 units
