Homework Help: Geometry

AM is a median of a triangle where A is one vertex and
M is the midpoint of a side of a triangle opposite vertex A. If the distance from the centroid of the triangle
to M is 5 units, how long is the median AM

I have: The centroid, is the balance point, or center of gravity, of a model of the triangle and which is two-thirds the distance from each vertex to the opposite side. so it is 15 units. I am so confused can you help
