Know these 2 properties -
1] A centroid is a point inside a triangle where all three medians coincide.
2] A centroid also divides a median in the ratio of 2:1
Basically F is the point of centroid of the triangle
Which also means F divides ¯DB and ¯CE in a ratio of 2:1
¯BF¯FD=¯CF¯FE=21
¯FD = 15
which means ¯BF=2∗¯FD=2∗15 = 30
If you are confused my BF/FD and not FD/BF, so basically the centroid is farther away from the vertex point than from the point of intersection of median with a side.
