[b][color=#0a971e]In this activity, you will discovery the properties of median and the properties of the point of concurrency of the three medians of a triangle.[/color][/b]
Use the Applet to answer the questions below.[br][br]1. Determine if points [i]D, E, F[/i] are midpoints. Explain. [br][br][br]2. Name the three medians of the triangle. [br][br][br]3. Name the point were the three medians meet. Which point of concurrency is it? [br][br][br]4. Choose a set triangle ABC. Take a screen capture of the image. What are the following measures?[br][br] AG = ________ CG = ____________ BG = ______________ [br][br] GD = ________ GF = ____________ GE = ______________ [br][br] AD = ________ CF = ____________ BE = ______________ [br][br][br]5. Determine the following ratios: [br][br] AG to AD: ________ CG to CF: __________ BG to BE: ____________ [br][br] GD to AD: _________ GF to CF: __________ GE to BE: ____________ [br][br][br]6. What conclusions can we make about the centroid?
