Extend AO to meet BC at D
G is the centroid of triangle ABC
D, E and F are the mid-points of BC, AC and AB 
so, O is the midpoint of EF
fraction numerator E O over denominator O F end fraction equals 1 half
T h e r e f o r e comma space fraction numerator O F over denominator B D end fraction equals 1 half
A l s o comma space fraction numerator begin display style O F end style over denominator begin display style B D end style end fraction equals fraction numerator A O over denominator A D end fraction

rightwards double arrow fraction numerator begin display style A O end style over denominator begin display style A D end style end fraction equals fraction numerator begin display style 1 end style over denominator begin display style 2 end style end fraction
rightwards double arrow A D equals 2 A O
rightwards double arrow A O equals O D
N o w comma space sin c e space G space i s space t h e space c e n t r o i d
rightwards double arrow fraction numerator A G over denominator G D end fraction equals 2 over 1
rightwards double arrow fraction numerator begin display style A O plus O G end style over denominator begin display style O D minus O G end style end fraction equals fraction numerator begin display style 2 end style over denominator begin display style 1 end style end fraction
rightwards double arrow A O plus O G equals 2 O D minus 2 O G
rightwards double arrow 3 O G equals 2 O D minus A O
rightwards double arrow 3 O G equals A O
rightwards double arrow A O equals 3 O G
