Activity 4.6 Intersecting Medians
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.
Example 1
Draw a median
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.
Example 2
Use the centroid of a triangle
