Learning outcomes You must be able to… Find the equations of lines Use constructions (compass work) to locate the centre of a triangle using different techniques.
Centroids The barycentre is the point of intersection of all the medians of a triangle The Median is defined to the straight line from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
Centres of a triangle On a set of axes from 0 to 10 (both axes), plot three point (0, 2), (9, 5) and (5, 7). Draw straight lines to form a triangle.
