Since Point G is the centroid of right triangle ABC with hypotenuse AB=18in. Then  CG is 6 in.What guidelines govern a right triangle?The area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side across from the right angle) in any right triangle equals the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs, according to the Pythagorean theorem.Note that from the question, A triangle's centroid, G, is located 2/3 of the way down one of its medians. We tend must determine the median C's length in order to find CG.We require the use of Thale's Theorem to get the median length at C. According to this, a right triangle ABC can be encircled by a semicircle with the hypotenuse acting as the diameter.Therefore, the median C is a point on the semicircle that connects to the diameter of the hypotenuse AB. Since it is connected to the center, median C is a radius. Half of its length, or 18/2, or 9 inches, makes it.So:CG is 2/3 down the median, which is:9 x 2/3 = 6 inches.Learn more about right triangle fromhttps://brainly.com/question/11600839#SPJ1
