2 3 Median Of Triangle. The three medians of a triangle intersect at a point called the centroid. Rs is a median of the triangle pqr.
And to do that i ll draw an arbitrary triangle. A median divides the area of the triangle in half. It is always located inside the triangle like the incenter another one of the triangle s concurrent points the centroid divides each median in a ratio of 2 1.
And let s just prove it for ourselves just so you don t have to take things on faith.
And let s just prove it for ourselves just so you don t have to take things on faith. In a triangle a median is a line joining a vertex with the mid point of the opposite side. Triangle ram congruent to triangle sam. Remember earlier on we had a conjecture that when one median of a triangle is drawn the second median divides the triangle formed by the first median in the ratio 1 2.
