If Z is the centroid of RST, RZ = 42, ST = 74, TW = 51, ZY = 23 and find each measure TZ = ? ZW = ? SY = ? XZ = ?

The Triangle RST is missing, so i have attached it.

A) TZ = 34

B) ZW = 17

C) SY = 69

D) XZ = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

To form the centroid, we see median drawn from the centre of all three sides.

Thus means the 3 sides are divided into 2 and as such;

XS = XT

YR = YT

WR = WT

Now, for median that forms centroid, the two parts are usually not the same length but instead in the ratio 2:1. That means one portion of the line segment is twice the length of the other.

Thus, by inspection of the given triangle, we can say that;

SZ = 2(ZY)

TZ = 2(ZW)

RZ = 2(XZ)

A) Now, we are given TW = 51

TW is made up of TZ and ZW

But since TZ : ZW = 2:1, it means that;

TZ = ⅔ × TW

TZ = ⅔ × 51

TZ = 34

B) From earlier, we saw that TZ = 2(ZW).

Thus; 34 = 2(ZW)

ZW = 34/2

ZW = 17

C) We are given ZY = 23.

From earlier, we saw that;SZ = 2(ZY)

Thus; SZ = 2(23)

SZ = 46

From the attached image we can see that;

SY = SZ + ZY

Thus;

SY = 46 + 23

SY = 69

D) We are given RZ = 42.

From earlier, we saw that;

RZ = 2(XZ)

Thus;

42 = 2(XZ)

XZ = 42/2

XZ = 21
