The triangle medians and the centroid.. In geometry, a median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side, thus bisecting that side. . Every triangle has exactly three medians, one from each vertex, and they all intersect at the triangle's cent
In geometry, Apollonius's theorem is a theorem relating the length of a median of a triangle to the lengths of its sides. It states that the sum of the squares of any two sides of any triangle equals twice the square on half the third side, together with twice the square on the median bisecting the third side.
For 3 (non-collinear) points, if any angle of the triangle formed by those points is 120° or more, then the geometric median is the point at the vertex of that angle. If all the angles are less than 120°, the geometric median is the point inside the triangle which subtends an angle of 120° to each three pairs of triangle vertices. [ 10 ]
Diagram of Stewart's theorem. Let a, b, c be the lengths of the sides of a triangle. Let d be the length of a cevian to the side of length a.If the cevian divides the side of length a into two segments of length m and n, with m adjacent to c and n adjacent to b, then Stewart's theorem states that + = (+).
The midpoint theorem generalizes to the intercept theorem, where rather than using midpoints, both sides are partitioned in the same ratio. [1] [2] The converse of the theorem is true as well. That is if a line is drawn through the midpoint of triangle side parallel to another triangle side then the line will bisect the third side of the triangle.
The parameters most commonly appearing in triangle inequalities are: the side lengths a, b, and c;; the semiperimeter s = (a + b + c) / 2 (half the perimeter p);; the angle measures A, B, and C of the angles of the vertices opposite the respective sides a, b, and c (with the vertices denoted with the same symbols as their angle measures);
From January 2008 to December 2012, if you bought shares in companies when E. William Barnett joined the board, and sold them when he left, you would have a 57.6 percent return on your investment, compared to a -2.8 percent return from the S&P 500.
A triangle's centroid is the point that maximizes the product of the directed distances of a point from the triangle's sidelines. [ 20 ] Let A B C {\displaystyle ABC} be a triangle, let G {\displaystyle G} be its centroid, and let D , E , F {\displaystyle D,E,F} be the midpoints of segments B C , C A , A B , {\displaystyle BC,CA,AB,} respectively.
