Centroid of a Triangle
Videos, worksheets, games and acivities to help Geometry students learn how to construct the centroid of a triangle.
Constructing the Centroid
The centroid is the point of concurrency of the three medians in a triangle. It is the center of mass (center of gravity) and therefore is always located within the triangle. The centroid divides each median into a piece one-third the length of the median and two-thirds the length. To find the centroid, we find the midpoint of two sides in the coordinate plane and use the corresponding vertices to get equations.
