5-3 Medians, Centroid, Concurrency of medians of a triangle theorem By Anna Chang T2
Median is… • Segment whose endpoints are a vertex of a triangle and the midpoint of the opposite side
Centroid • center of the medians • A point where all the medians meet.
Concurrency of medians of a triangle theorem • The point of concurrency of the medians is called the centroid. (Where all median meet.) • Centroid Theorem: on every median of any triangle, the distance from the vertex to the centroid is • double the distance from the centroid to the midpoint of the opposite side.
