CONSTRUCTION OF A CENTROID


Construct a triangle labeled ABC

 

Then construct the median from vertex C to segment AB. This is done by locating the midpoint, C', of segment AB and constructing a line segment between C and C'.

 

Now we construct a median from vertex A to segment BC and vertex B to segment AC

The point where all three medians intersect is known as the centroid...labeled as point G
