The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the angle \( BGC \) in triangle \( ABC \) where \( G \) is the centroid and \( AG = BC \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Draw Triangle ABC**: Start by sketching triangle \( ABC \) with points \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \). 2. **Identify the Centroid G**: The centroid \( G \) of triangle \( ABC \) is the point where the three medians intersect. A median is a line segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. 3. **Label the Sides**: Given that \( AG = BC \), we can denote \( BC = 2X \) for some value \( X \). Therefore, \( AG = 2X \). 4. **Determine the Segments**: Since \( G \) is the centroid, it divides the median \( AG \) in the ratio \( 2:1 \). This means: - \( AG = 2X \) - \( GD = X \) (where \( D \) is the midpoint of \( BC \)) 5. **Establish Angles**: In triangle \( BGC \), since \( BG = GC \) (as \( G \) is the centroid and divides \( BC \) into two equal parts), we can denote the angles at \( B \) and \( C \) as \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) respectively. 6. **Use the Isosceles Triangle Property**: Since \( BG = GC \), angles \( \angle BGC \) and \( \angle GBC \) are equal. Thus, we can say: \[ \angle BGC = \angle GBC = \alpha \] and \( \angle BCG = \beta \). 7. **Apply the Triangle Sum Theorem**: The sum of angles in triangle \( BGC \) is \( 180^\circ \): \[ \alpha + \alpha + \beta = 180^\circ \] Simplifying gives: \[ 2\alpha + \beta = 180^\circ \] 8. **Relate Angles**: Since \( AG = BC \) and we have established the segments, we can conclude that \( \alpha + \beta = 90^\circ \) (from the properties of the triangle). 9. **Final Calculation**: Substituting \( \beta = 90^\circ - \alpha \) into the equation \( 2\alpha + \beta = 180^\circ \): \[ 2\alpha + (90^\circ - \alpha) = 180^\circ \] This simplifies to: \[ \alpha + 90^\circ = 180^\circ \] Therefore, \[ \alpha = 90^\circ - \beta \] Thus, \( \angle BGC = 90^\circ \). ### Conclusion: The angle \( BGC \) is \( 90^\circ \).
