Medians of a Triangle
Click on NEXT or RUN to begin
This page shows how to construct the medians of a triangle with compass and straightedge or ruler. A triangle has three medians. They are lines linking a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. We first find the midpoint, then draw the median.

The above animation is available as a printable step-by-step instruction sheet, which can be used for making handouts or when a computer is not available.
Proof
Argument Reason
1 S is the midpoint of PQ By construction. See Perpendicular bisector of a line segment with compass and straightedge for method and proof.
2 RS is a median of the triangle PQR A triangle median is a line segment linking a vertex with the midpoint of the opposite side.
The other two medians from Q,P are proven in a similar way..

Given : a triangle
To find : construct three medians of the triangle.
Solution:
Step 1 : Draw a line segment AB of any length
Step 2 : Using suitable compass width taking A as center draw an arc
Step 3 : Using suitable compass width taking B as center draw an arc intersecting arc drawn in previous step at C
Step 4 : join AC & BC
Step 5 : Draw perpendicular bisector of AB
- Using suitable compass width taking A as center draw arcs on both sides of AB
- Keeping compass width same taking B as center draw arcs on both sides of AB intersecting arcs drawn in previous step at M & N
- join M & N intersecting AB at F
Step 6 : Join CF
CF is median of AB
Similarly Draw perpendicular bisector of BC , intersecting BC at D & join AD
Similarly Draw perpendicular bisector of AC , intersecting AC at E & join BE
AD , BE & CF are medians
