Constructing the Centroid

Recall...
The intersection of a triangle's three [b]medians[/b] is called the [b][color=#3d85c6]centroid[/color][/b].
See if you can construct the centroid with what you already know. After about 5 minutes, move on.
How'd it go?
What steps did you follow to create this triangle's [b][color=#3d85c6]centroid[/color][/b]. If you didn't quite finish, what things did you try?
Compare the steps you described to the ones below.
1. Find the midpoint of each side of the triangle. [br][br]2. Create a line from midpoint to the opposite vertex for each side of the triangle. [br][br]3. Find the intersection of these three [b]medians[/b] and label [b][color=#3d85c6]N[/color][/b] for [b][color=#3d85c6]centroid[/color][/b].
