Parallelograms And Triangles

Theorem 10.1.4

Math

Theorem: The medians of a triangle are congruent and their point of concurrency is the point of trisection of each median.

Given: ABC\triangle{ABC}, in which medians BE\overline{BE} and CF\overline{CF} met in G.

To Prove: i. AG\overline{AG} produces bisect BC\overline{BC} in D, and ii. G is the point of trisection of each median.

Construction: Draw CHEB\overline{CH}||\overline{EB} meeting AD\overline{AD} produced in H. Join points B and H.

Proof:
