  1. G is the centroid of the equilateral triangle ABC. If AB = 10 cm then length of AG is
    1. 5√3
      cm
      3
    2. 10√3
      cm
      3
    3. 10√3 cm
    4. 10√3 cm
Correct Option: B

First of all , We draw a figure of equilateral triangle ABC whose length is 10 cm ,

AB = 10 cm
BD = 5 cm
∠ ADB = 90°
∴ AD = √AB² - BD²
AD = √10² - 5²
AD = √100 - 25
AD = √75
AD = 5√3 cm

AG =
2
AD =
2
× 5 √3
33

AG =
10 √3
cm
