Median triangle
Okay kiddo, let's talk about the median triangle. Imagine you have a triangle - you know, that shape with three sides. Well, every triangle has something called medians.
So what is a median? It's basically a line that goes from one corner of the triangle to the middle of the opposite side. Think of it like a slice of pizza going from the crust to the tip through the cheese!
Now, if you take those three medians and connect them, they create a new triangle inside the original triangle - that's the median triangle!
This new triangle is special because its sides are actually portions of the original triangle's sides. And get this, kiddo - the three medians actually intersect at one point inside the median triangle called the centroid. The centroid is like the middle of everything in the median triangle - the place where everything balances out.
So that's the median triangle, a new triangle made from the medians of the original triangle. It's a special triangle that has its own center point called the centroid. Cool, huh?
