=====Concept #: Concurrency of medians in triangles.=====
 
Median of a triangle is a line segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. A triangle has three medians. Each median divides the triangle into two smaller triangles of equal area. The medians of a triangle are concurrent and the point of concurrence is called the centroid. The centroid is always inside the triangle. The centroid is exactly two-thirds the way along each median. i.e the centroid divides each median into two segments whose lengths are in the ratio 2:1, with the longest one nearest the vertex.

======[[Medians and centroid of a triangle]]======
 
The centroid of a triangle is where the three medians intersect. This activity will show you how to find the centroid  and you’ll explore several geometric relationships related to centroid and medians.
