Question

Which best describes the centroid of a triangle?

A. The point where three altitudes of the triangle intersect
B. The point where the three medians of the triangle intersect
C. The point where the three angle inspectors of the triangle intersect
D. The point where the perpendicular bisectors of the three sides of the triangle intersect

Answer 1

Option: B is the correct option:

B. The point where the three medians of the triangle intersect

Explanation:

We know that the centroid of a triangle is the point where the three medians of the triangle intersect.

The centroid of a triangle is also known as the center of gravity of the triangle.

The median of a triangle is a line segment that is drawn form a vertex of a triangle such that it meets the opposite site of the triangle at the mid-point.
