Question

Draw a triangle ABC on a cardboard. Draw its medians and denote their point of concurrence as G. Cut out the triangle. Now take a pencil. Try to balance the triangle on the flat tip of the pencil. The triangle is balanced only when the point G is on the flat tip of the pencil. This activity shows an important property of the centroid (point of concurrence of the medians) of the triangle. Point it out.

Answer 1

The centroid of the triangle is the triangle’s centre of gravity. Hence, the triangle in the experiment remains balanced.
