More on Triangles http://www.mathopenref.com/trianglemedians.html Median • Properties of the medians: • Each median divides the triangle into two smaller triangles which have the same area • The centroid (point where they meet) is the center of gravity of the triangle • The three medians divide the triangle into 6 smaller triangles that all have the same area, even though they may have different shapes. Centroid
The RULE for medians is… The length of MG is always 2/3 the distance of MP keeping a ratio of 2:1
