The centroid of ANY triangle has the following properties: 1. It is the intersection of all three medians, i.e. lines which join a vertex and bisects the length of the opposite. For example, AD is a median, P is the centroid, and mBD=mDC 2. The distance between the centroid and the vertex is twice the distance between the centroid and the opposing side. For example, mAP=2(mPD). With the second property, we can say for #11. QN=9, so QP=(1/3)PN=3, PN=2QP=6. Want to try the other ones while I watch?

im confused ;-;

Can you identify a median from my diagram?

pooja195 (pooja195):

P?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

That is the centroid. Median is a line that joins a vertex and the opposite side, AND passes through the centroid. Can you find one?
