Distance from Centroid to Vertex in Tetrahedron

Very Hard Geometry Solid Geometry

Consider a right regular tetrahedron with an edge length of $6$ cm. A point, $P$, is located at the centroid of this tetrahedron. To determine the distance from point $P$ to each vertex of the tetrahedron, you can use the formula for the distance from the centroid to a vertex in a regular tetrahedron, which is given by:

$$ d =\frac{a ext{ (edge length)}}{\frac{3}{2}} $$

What is the distance from point $P$ to one of the vertices?
