Any help is greatly appreciated, thank-you. Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The medians of a triangle intersect at the centroid point
:
The centroid divides the length of each median in 2:1 ratio, therefore
:
let x be the length of ML
:
x = 14/2 = 7
