2. Medians and Altitudes of Triangles

Exercise 12 Page 340

Draw the medians of $△ X Y Z$ and find their point of intersection.

$(9, 2)$

Practice makes perfect

Let's start by plotting the given points on a coordinate plane and drawing $△ X Y Z .$

We are asked to find the coordinates of the centroid of

△ X Y Z .

This is the point of concurrency for the triangle's medians. A median of a triangle is a segment with one endpoint being a vertex and the other endpoint being the midpoint of the opposite side.

\underline{∣ Vertex ∣} Z X Y \underline{∣ Opposite Side ∣} \overline{X Y} \overline{Y Z} \overline{X Z}
