Medians and Altitudes of a Triangle

Median of a triangle is a segment whose endpoints are a vertex of the triangle and the midpoint of the opposite side.

Centroid of the triangle is the point of concurrency of the three medians of a triangle.

Concurrency of Medians of a Triangle: the medians of a triangle intersect at a point that is called the Centroid and that is two thirds of the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
