Triangle's centroid

In the triangle ABC the given lengths of its medians tc = 9, ta = 6. Let T be the intersection of the medians (triangle's centroid), and the point S is the center of the side BC. The magnitude of the CTS angle is 60°.
Calculate the length of the BC side to 2 decimal places.

Correct answer:

a =  10.58 cm

Step-by-step explanation:
