Question 1151743

In triangle {{{JKL}}}, point {{{Y}}} is the centroid. .

note: The centroid of a triangle is the point of intersection of its {{{medians}}} (the lines joining each {{{vertex}}} with the {{{midpoint}}} of the opposite side). 
The centroid {{{divides }}}each of the {{{medians}}} in the ratio {{{2:1}}}, which is to say it is located {{{1/3}}} of the distance from each side to the opposite vertex .

let the {{{midpoint}}} of side {{{KL}}} be {{{M}}}, then the {{{median}}} is {{{JM}}} with point {{{Y}}} on it

if {{{JY}}} is {{{22}}} feet, what is the length of the {{{YM}}}  will be:

{{{22:YM=2:1}}}

{{{2YM=22}}}

 {{{YM=11}}}

then,  the length of the median that comes from vertex {{{J}}} is:

{{{JM=JY+YM}}} 

{{{JM=22+11}}} 

{{{JM=33}}} ft
