In triangle PQR, the medians PM, QN and RL all pass through centroid G. Using the equal-area property of medians, the six small triangles formed have areas that are:

Question

Accepted Answer

all equal. The three medians of a triangle divide it into six triangles of equal area (each = 1/6 of the whole), a standard result from the same-base/equal-height reasoning.
