In triangle , point is the centroid. .
note: The centroid of a triangle is the point of intersection of its (the lines joining each with the of the opposite side).
The centroid each of the in the ratio , which is to say it is located of the distance from each side to the opposite vertex .
let the of side be , then the is with point on it
if is feet, what is the length of the will be:
then, the length of the median that comes from vertex is:
ft
