Constructing the Centroid

Recall...

The intersection of a triangle's three medians is called the centroid.

See if you can construct the centroid with what you already know. After about 5 minutes, move on.

How'd it go?

What steps did you follow to create this triangle's centroid. If you didn't quite finish, what things did you try?

Compare the steps you described to the ones below.

1. Find the midpoint of each side of the triangle. 2. Create a line from midpoint to the opposite vertex for each side of the triangle. 3. Find the intersection of these three medians and label N for centroid.

Did you use a similar method?
