The Medians
Remember:
● The median of a triangle is a line segment joining any vertex of the triangle and
the mid point of the opposite side.
● The medians of a triangle are concurrent.
● The point of concurrence of the medians of the triangle divides each median in
the ratio 1 : 2 from the base.
● The line segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel
to the third side and its length equals half the length of this side.
● The ray drawn from the midpoint of a side of a triangle parallel; to another
side bisects the third side.
