Centroid

Construction of the medians of a triangle are easy if you know how to construct a perpendicular bisector.
Once you have found the midpoint of each side then draw the median from the vertex to the opposite midpoint.
The intersection of the medians is the centroid.
The centroid is the center of gravity.
