Medians of a Triangle-2021
Did you find the midpoints of the three sides?
Did you draw the three medians of the triangle?
Where do the medians of the triangles intersect?
Move the vertices of the triangle around.
What happens to the point of intersection of the medians? ( Click on the before moving the vertices)
Can the centroid ever be located outside the triangle? Move the vertices around and see what happens before answering?
Did you place a point at the centroid?
Do you have 6 different lengths labeled on the diagram?
Move the vertices of the triangle and observe the lengths of the segments you measured.
What is the relationship between the distance from a vertex to the centroid and the distance the rest of the way from the centroid to the opposite side? If you don't see it immediately, try manipulating the vertices so that at least one of the lengths is an integer.
What conclusion can you make about the relationship between the segments formed by the centroid and each median?
