The centroid is 2/3 of the way along every median.
So, if CM = 14, CD = 21
So, if CM = 14, CD = 21
In a triangle, a median is a line segment that connects one vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. The centroid is the point where all three medians intersect, and it divides each median into a 2:1 ratio. This means that the distance from the centroid to the vertex is twice the distance from the centroid to the midpoint of the opposite side.
Given that CM = 14, we can conclude that CD is twice the length of CM. Therefore, CD = 2 * CM.
To find CD, multiply the length of CM by 2:
CD = 2 * CM = 2 * 14 = 28.
Therefore, the length of CD is 28 units.
