Construction and Properties of the Triangle Centroid

This applet demonstrates the step-by-step geometric construction of a triangle's centroid. By drawing medians from each vertex to the opposite midpoint, their intersection is identified as the centroid. It visually verifies the property that the centroid divides each median into a 2:1 ratio, showing the distance from a vertex to the centroid is twice the distance to the midpoint.
