SOLUTION: If Pm is a median in triangle PQR, O is the centroid and PO is greater then MO find X if PM =24 and PO=2x+2

.

In any triangle, the centroid divides each median in the ratio  2 : 1.


    See the lesson  Medians of a triangle are concurrent  in this site.


So,  2x+2 = 16  ====>  2x = 14  ====>  x =  = 7 units.
