Median and Altitude of a Triangle

What is the definition of a median?

• A median is a line or ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles.

• A median is a segment from a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of its opposite side.

• A median is a line that divides a line segment into two equal parts.

• A median is a curved line.

What is the definition of a centroid?

• The centroid is a line of concurrency of the medians.

• The centroid is the point of concurrency of the medians.

• The centroid is a horizontal line.

• The centroid is a vertical line.
