Question
G is the centroid of the equilateral ΔABC. If AB = 10 cm then length of AG is ?
Options:
A .  $$\frac{{5\sqrt 3 }}{3}\,cm$$
B .  $$\frac{{10\sqrt 3 }}{3}\,cm$$
C .  $$5\sqrt 3 \,cm$$
D .  $$10\sqrt 3 \,cm$$
Answer: Option B
According to question,
Given :
AB = BC = CA = 10 cm
G = Centroid
AG = 2 units
GD = 1 unit
AD = 3 units = Height
As we know that the height of the equilateral triangle is
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2} \times 10 = 5\sqrt 3 \cr
& \therefore 3\,{\text{units}} = 5\sqrt 3 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,1\,{\text{unit}} = \frac{{5\sqrt 3 }}{3} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,2\,{\text{units}} = \frac{{5\sqrt 3 }}{3} \times 2 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,2\,{\text{units}} = \frac{{10\sqrt 3 }}{3} \cr
& \therefore {\text{AG}} = \frac{{10\sqrt 3 }}{3}\,cm \cr} $$
