medians and altitudes. how to identify altitude and median, find the length of a median, located the centroid, locate the orthocenter, find the orthocenter of a triangle

This learning resource focuses on the concepts of medians and altitudes in triangles, guiding students to identify these segments, calculate their lengths, and locate centroids and orthocenters using coordinate geometry. It includes definitions, key characteristics, examples, guided and independent practice problems, and reflective questions to reinforce understanding. By exploring the relationships between vertices, midpoints, and altitudes, students gain insights into triangle geometry and its applications. The resource also provides step-by-step instructions for finding the lengths of medians and understanding the significance of centroids and orthocenters.
