Median

Median

1. Concurrent

   • That point is called the centroid
     • The centroid is the center of gravity of a triangle.
   • Point of concurrency is only inside of the triangle

2. Starts on a vertex and goes through the midpoint of the opposite side.

3. A median splits a triangle into two triangles with equal areas

4. Has long parts and short parts

   • Long part: Vertex to centroid
   • Short Part: Centroid to Midpoint
   • Long to short-2:1 or 2/1
   • Long to whole-2:3 or 2/3
   • Short to whole-1:3 or 1/3
