Before you study what is median of triangle, you are advised to study: Define Line Segment Define Vertex Definition: A line segment joining the vertex of a triangle to the mid-point of its opposite side is known as Median of the Triangle Or we can say that: Median connects a vertex of a triangle with mid-point of its opposite side. Example - In the below Triangle PQR Point X is the mid-point of side RP. Side RP is opposite to Vertex Q And QX is a line segment which connects Vertex Q and with X Hence, Line Segment QX is a Median of Triangle PQR Example 2: How many medians can a triangle have ? Solution: As we know that a triangle has three vertices and three sides. And a median connects a vertex and opposite side. Therefore we can say that there can be three medians in a triangle. In the below triangle ABC: Vertices A, B & C are connected to the mid-points Q, R & P of their respective opposite side BC, AC and AB. Therefore, we got three Medians: AQ, BR & CP in Triangle ABC
