Use the following GeoGebra construction to work through the Centroid Lab. You may want to write information down as you go just in case you don't finish the entire lab or can't get the form to submit.
A centroid is the point of concurrency of the medians of a triangle.
1. Find the coordinates of triangle ABC's centroid.
2. Find the distance from each vertex to the centroid.
3. Find the distance from the centroid to each midpoint.
4. Find the length of each median.
5. What observations can you make about the centroid theorem from this lab?
