The point where the three medians of a triangle intersect is called the centroid of the triangle.
Centroid
It is called the centroid.
In an isosceles triangle, one of the medians is perpendicular to the opposite side of that triangle. In an equilateral triangle, all three medians are perpendicular to the sides of that triangle.
A segment that joins a vertex of a triangle and the midpoint of the side opposite that vertex is called a median. The three medians are concurrent at the centroid (the point of their intersection, and it is two-thirds of the way down each median. For example, if the three medians AA', BB', and CC' of the triangle ABC, intersect at G, then AG = 2GA', BG = 2BG', and CG = 2CG')
