1 A segment that connects a vertex of a triangle
to the midpoint of the opposite side. The point of concurrency of the medians of a triangle. The perpendicular segment from a vertex of a triangle to the opposite side. The point of concurrency of the altitudes of a triangle.

2 AE BF CD Also, EP = 1/3AE, FP = 1/3BF, and DP = 1/3CD Therefore, AP = 2EP, BP = 2FP, and CP = 2DP

5 (4, 3) two thirds 2/ 2 4, 4 If you don't have a horizontal or vertical line as a median you would have to use the distance formula to find the length of the median, then take 2/3 of the length to find the centroid.
