Exploring the role of medians in triangle geometry reveals their unique properties, such as bisecting the opposing side and creating equal-area subdivisions. The centroid, a point of balance within the triangle, is where all three medians intersect, dividing each median in a 2:1 ratio. Understanding medians is key to solving geometric problems and differs from altitudes, which are perpendicular to the opposite side. Calculating median lengths can be done using specific formulas or coordinate geometry methods.
