1 |
Problem |
AD is a median of △ABC and O is the centroid such that AO = 10cm. Length of OD is, |
|
2 |
Given |
Line joining the points (4,5) and (1,2) and passing through the point \$(3,2)\$. |
|
3 |
Step |
O is the centroid of the triangle △ABC and is the point of intersection of its three medians. As the centroid divides a median in the ratio of \$2 : 1\$ from the vertex, in this case we have, |
\begin{align} \require{cancel} AO : OD &= 2 : 1 \\ \end{align} |
4 |
Step |
If AO = 10 cm, then OD is |
\$\frac{AO}{OD} = \frac{2}{1} \$ |
5 |
Step |
Substitute the value. |
\$\Rightarrow \frac{10}{OD} = \frac{2}{1} \$ |
6 |
Step |
Cancel out common factor. |
\$\Rightarrow \frac{ \cancel{10} ^5}{OD} = \frac{ \cancel{2} ^1}{1} \$ |
7 |
Step |
Answer |
Length of OD is 5 cm. |
