Does my answer sound good, is it correct? Can someone check it for me? Part 1: What is the centroid of a triangle? Part 2: Where can the centroid be found in relation to the triangle? My Answer: Part 1: A centroid is the point where the three medians of a triangle intersect. Part 2: This point is always found inside the triangle, at the center of mass for the triangle.

1 ok 2 ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay, okay cool thanks, but are u sure I don't need to add anything else, for some reason I feel it should be longer, but maybe that's because its an essay question... idk but thanks again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But usuall y one is required to prove that\[1 \rightarrow \] 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 is the definition. 2 is a consequence of 1 (proof is easy)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh would it be bad to put the definition? btw its on the computer so I cant draw anything...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No , 1 is fine. It is definition.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, cool. btw, I have another essay question I need checked would u mind checking it?

What are the steps used to construct a triangle centroid? my answer: 1)We start with a triangle ABC. 2)Construct the bisector of the line segment AB. Label the midpoint of the line D. 3)Draw the median from the midpoint D to the opposite vertex C. 4)In the same manner, construct E, the midpoint of the line segment BC. 5)Draw the median from the midpoint E to the opposite vertex A 6)Done. The point F where the two medians intersect is the centroid of the triangle ABC.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't bisector word only applied to angles ? For intervals - middle is better

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, so then just change construct the bisector of the line segment: to construct the middle of the line segment?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also, these are the steps that my teacher listed, its what I follow to create a centroid...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Steps are ok. Word bisector - is it used for intervals ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, thanks again for ur help! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You welcome ! Are u from France Renee ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, I wish! im from New Jersey... :)
