Centroid of a Triangle

C
Plan:
1) Construct medians for the vertices of the triangle.

Their intersection is the centroid!

 B

D E

Step 1) Construct two medians of the triangle. (NOTE: We don’t need the third median, because
it is concurrent with the other two.)
 B

D 1.68 cm
1.57 cm
E
F
3.14 cm
A 3.36 cm

C
Their intersection is the centroid.
NOTE: The measurements are not part of the construction; they are shown to illustrate the 1:2
ratio into which the centroid divides each median.
