Definition: Centroid- the point of
concurrency of the three medians
of a triangle.

Which point is the centroid?
Point E

A line that goes from the vertex of an
angle to the midpoint of the opposite
side of a triangle is called?
circumcenter
Incenter
median
centroid
Fact: The centroid breaks the median up into 2 segments. 
The segment from the vertex to the centroid is twiceas long as the segment from the centroid to the midpoint. 
Given: Centroid B, which 
statement is true?
AB = BC
AB = 2•BC
AB = ½•BC
AB = 4 • BC
A
B
C
D is the centroid

What is the ratio of the 
lengths of the two parts (AD:DG) of segment AG?
3:1
1:3
2:1
2:3
