Medians of a Triangle
Did you find the midpoints of the three sides?
Where do the medians of the triangles intersect? ( Inside, outside or on a side of the triangle)
Move the vertices of the triangle around.
Does the point where the medians intersect change? ( 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 a whole number.
What conclusion can you make about the relationship between the segments formed by the centroid and each median?
