2/3 of the median is between the centroid and the vertex, 1/3 between the centroid and the side.

The centroid of a triangle is where the median of each side meet.
Find the median of each side of the triangle. The centroid is where all three lines meet.
Yes that is correct I'm in Geometry myself and we just learned this, it is called the Centroid because it divides each median in a 2:1 ratio
The centroid of a triangle is the point of intersection of the medians and divides each median in the ratio 2:1
Yes and no. Each median divides the triangle into two such that for any point on the median, the mass on one side is balanced by the mass on the other. But the mass ahead of that point may or may not balance the mass behind. It is the point of intersection of the medians - the centroid - which is the centre of mass or centre of balance of the triangle.
