What term best describes the point where the three medians of a triangle intersects

kirill115 [55]

CENTROID is the term used to describe the point where the three medians of a triangle intersect.

Centroid is the center of gravity of the triangle. It is one of the triangle's point of concurrency. Aside from "center of gravity", it is also known as "center of mass" and "barycenter".

Centroids are always inside the triangle. Since, the centroid is where three medians intersect, each median divides the triangle into two smaller triangles of equal area. The centroid is exactly two-thirds the way along each median.

Other types of triangle centers aside from Centroids are:
1) incenter
2) circumcenter
3) orthocenter

From base camp, a hiker walks 3.5 miles west and 1.5 miles north. Another hiker walks 2 miles east and 0.5 miles south. To the n

Answer:

The hikers are 5.9 miles apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let O represents the base camp,

Suppose after walking 3.5 miles west, first hiker's position is A, then after going 1.5 miles north from A his final position is B,

Similarly, after walking 2 miles east, second hiker's position is C then going towards 0.5 miles south his final position is D.

By making the diagram of this situation,

Let D' is the point in the line AB,
