Answer: Choice 1

3(MC) = SC

=====================================================

Explanation:

The three medians intersect at the centroid, which is point M in this case. The intersecting medians subdivide themselves in the ratio 2:1

This means that SM is twice as long as MC. We can say SM = 2MC

Then by the segment addition postulate, we know that:

SC = SM + MC

SC = 2MC + MC

SC = 3MC

3(MC) = SC

So having three copies of MC glued together will form segment SC.

The same idea applies for the other medians also (EK = 3EM and RL = 3ML).
