Length of the median of a triangle by coordinates
The median of a triangle is a segment that connects any vertex of the triangle with the midpoint of the opposite side. Each triangle has three different medians, intersecting at one point, which lies inside the triangle. The point of intersection – is the centroid of the given triangle.
The medians of a triangle have certain properties, namely:
• The median divides each triangle into two triangles of equal area, meaning those with equal areas.
• The point of intersection divides the medians of the triangle in a ratio of 2:1, starting from the vertices of the triangle.
• The three medians of a triangle divide each triangle into six triangles of equal area.
If the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle are known, the online calculator on our site can accurately calculate the length of the triangle's median. To do this, you need to enter certain data into our online calculator, namely the three sides of the triangle, and after performing the calculation, the system will provide the answer – you will know the three lengths of the median. The advantages of our online calculator and the speed of calculations have already been appreciated by many visitors to our site. And we are always happy to help you!
