XYZ is a triangle. If the medians ZL and YM intersect each other at G, then (Area of △GLM : Area of △XYZ) is:
A.1 : 12✓ Correct
B.1 : 10
C.1 : 11
D.1 : 14
Explanation
The centroid divides each median in 2:1. The area of the triangle formed by two medians and a side at the centroid is 1/12 of the total triangle's area. So Area(△GLM) : Area(△XYZ) = 1:12.
