- Discovering Mass Points Let's start out with a problem: Let there be a △ABC\triangle ABC△ABC in the plane with point FFF on AB‾\overline{AB}AB and point EEE on AC‾\overline{AC}A…

- The median is the line connecting a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side. Here, D,E,F are the midpoints of the sides of ABC. Notice medians AD,BE,CFAD,BE,CF…

- Consider the diagram, where D,E,FD,E,FD,E,F are midpoints of the sides of triangle ABC. The medians concur at the centroid G. We use a technique called mass points to prove this…
