Question

which term represents the point of intersection of the three medians of a triangle? * centroid incenter midpoint orthocenter

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To solve this, we recall the definitions of each term:

  • Centroid: The point where the three medians of a triangle intersect. A median connects a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
  • Incenter: The point where the angle bisectors of a triangle intersect (it's the center of the incircle).
  • Midpoint: The middle point of a line segment, not related to the intersection of three medians of a triangle.
  • Orthocenter: The point where the three altitudes of a triangle intersect.

So, the term for the intersection of the three medians is centroid.

Answer:

A. centroid
