Vocabulary

A MEDIAN of a triangle is a segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.

A CENTRIOD is the point where the three medians of a triangle meet.

Intersection of Medians of a

Triangle Theorem The medians of a triangle intersect at the

centroid, a point that is two thirds of the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
