In a ΔABC the median AD, BE and CF intersect at a point G. If AG = 6 cm, BE = 9 cm and GF = 4.5 cm, then find GD, BG and CF.

Given that in ∆ABC , medians AD, BE and CF intersects at a point G.
AG = 6 cm, BE = 9 cm and GF = 4.5 cm
As we know that if the medians in a triangle intersect at a point then the point is the centroid of the triangle and the centroid divides the median in 2:1 ratio.
Here, G is the centroid of the ∆ABC.
And AG:GD = 2:1,
BG:GE = 2:1 ,
CG:GF = 2:1
Now, ![]()
![]()
![]()
GD=3 cm
Again, ![]()
![]()
⇒ CG=4.5×2=9
CG=9 cm
BE = BG+GE………………(1)
![]()
⇒BG=2GE
Putting in equation (1)
9 = 2GE+GE
⇒ 3GE=9
⇒ GE = 3
GE = 3 cm
Hence, GD=3 cm, CG=9 cm and GE = 3 cm
