The centroid of a triangle divides the median of the triangle into 1 : 2
The measure of FQ is 18, while the measure of TQ is 6
Because point T is the centroid, then we have the following ratio
[tex]\mathbf{TQ : FT =1 : 2}[/tex]
Where FT = 12.
Substitute 12 for FT in the above ratio
[tex]\mathbf{TQ : 12 =1 : 2}[/tex]
Express as fraction
[tex]\mathbf{\frac{TQ }{ 12} =\frac{1 }{ 2}}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 12
[tex]\mathbf{TQ =\frac{1 }{ 2} \times 12}[/tex]
This gives
[tex]\mathbf{TQ =\frac{1 2}{ 2}}[/tex]
Divide 12 by 2
[tex]\mathbf{TQ =6}[/tex]
The measure of FQ is calculated using:
[tex]\mathbf{FQ = FT + TQ}[/tex]
Substitute 12 for FT, and 6 for TQ
[tex]\mathbf{FQ = 12 + 6}[/tex]
Add 12 and 6
[tex]\mathbf{FQ = 18}[/tex]
Hence, the measure of FQ is 18, while the measure of TQ is 6
