Median

You are familiar with the term ‘triangle’ and its properties. Before we try to explore more about them, we need to get some good information on some of their basic properties. We know that a three-sided polygon which has 3 vertices and 3 sides enclosing 3 angles is called a triangle.

A triangle can be classified into scalene, isosceles and equilateral based on the length of its sides. On the basis of interior angles, a triangle can be an obtuse-angled, acute-angled, or right-angled triangle. We also need to know that the sum of interior angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

So, in this chapter, we will learn how to draw medians of a triangle. We will also concentrate on the properties of medians of a triangle as well to get the perfect idea about it.
