Median
Median of a triangleA segment with endpoints at a vertex of a
triangle and the midpoint of the opposite side.

CentroidCentroidThe point of concurrency of the medians of a
triangle.
Centroid TheoremThe medians of a triangle intersect at a point
called the centroid that is two thirds of the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.

A performance artist plans to balance triangular pieces of metal during her next act. When one such triangle is placed on the coordinate plane, its vertices are located at (1, 10) (5, 0) and (9,5). What are the coordinates of the point where the artist should support the triangle so that it will balance.
The balance point of a triangle is the centroid.

Graph the points.
Hint: To make it easier look for a vertical or horizontal line between a midpoint of a side and
vertex.
Find the midpoint of the side(s) that could make a vertical or horizontal line.

Altitude
Altitude of a triangleA perpendicular segment from a vertex to
the side opposite that vertex.
Draw a righttriangle and identifyall the altitudes.

OrthocenterOrthocenterThe lines containing the altitudes of a
triangle are concurrent, intersecting at a point called the orthocenter.

The orthocenter can be found at the intersection of our 2 new equations.
How can we find the orthocenter?
If the orthocenter lies on an exact point of the graphuse the graph to name. If it does not lie on a pointuse systems of equations to find the orthocenter.
