#6.3 Medians and Centroids of Triangles

The centroid of a triangle is ____________ of the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.

The three medians of a triangle meet at a point of concurrency called the ____________.

If BL = 12, find BP.

If AL = 27, find PL.

If BL = 12, find PL.

A median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the ____________ of the opposite side.

The centroid divides each median into two segments, with the longer segment being ____________ the length of the shorter segment.

In a triangle, the centroid is located at the intersection of the ____________.

The centroid can be found using the formula: (x1 + x2 + x3)/3, (y1 + y2 + y3)/3. What does this represent?

The centroid of a triangle is also known as the ____________ of the triangle.
