Question

Which among the following is true for a triangle?

• A. The point of intersection of medians is known as orthocentre.
• B. A median is line joining the vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
• C. A median always lies outside the triangle.
• D. A centroid always lies outside the triangle.

Answer 1

The correct option is B A median is line joining the vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.

A median is line joining the vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side of the triangle but not any side.

All the medians will always lie inside the triangle and they meet at a point known as centroid, which also lies inside the triangle.
