Question

  1. point p is the centroid of the triangle. how long is mp compared to mq? mp = 1/3 mq mp = 2/3 mq mp = 3/2 mq mp = mq

Explanation:

Step1: Recall centroid property

The centroid of a triangle divides each median in a ratio of 2:1. Here, MQ is a median and P is the centroid. So, MP is two - thirds of MQ.

Answer:

MP = $\frac{2}{3}$MQ, so the correct option is: MP = $\frac{2}{3}$MQ
