A median of a triangle is a line segment drawn from the vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. It divides the side into two equal parts. The median is perpendicular to both the base and the altitude from the vertex.
The three medians of a triangle intersect at a single point called the centroid. The centroid is the center of mass of the triangle, and it is also the point where the three medians converge.
The length of the median from the vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side is called the median measure. The median measure is equal to half the length of the side.
The three medians of a triangle are related to the sides and angles of the triangle. They are in a proportion that is equal to the ratios of the lengths of the corresponding sides. This relationship is known as Thales's theorem
