Front

What is a median in a triangle?

Back

A segment that connects a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.

Front

What is the relationship between the centroid and the medians of a triangle?

Back

The centroid divides each median into two segments, with the shorter segment being one third the length of the entire median.

Front

What are the three types of segments that can be drawn in a triangle?

Back

Medians, Altitudes, Angle Bisectors.

Front

What is the measure of the shorter segment when a median is divided by the centroid?

Back
