Two.
However, you can actually do it with just one. Consider the median AD of triangle ABC. Then the point G, 2/3 of the way from A to D, is the centroid. This process (2/3 of the way from the vertex to the opposite side) can be applied to any median.
Find the median of each side of the triangle. The centroid is where all three lines meet.
You simply find the midpoint of each side of the triangle, then you draw a line connecting the midpoints to their opposite corners of the triangle. The intersection of these points will occur at the same point: the centroid.
The coordinates of the centroid relate to the average of coordinates of the triangle's vertices. Free online calculation tool - mathopenref.com/coordcentroid.html
To divide a triangle into fourths equally, you can draw a line from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. This will create three smaller triangles within the original triangle. To achieve four equal areas, find the centroid of the triangle (the point where the three medians intersect) and connect it to each vertex, resulting in four smaller triangles of equal area.
Centre of area for plane triangle (no thickness, theory only) Line from apex to middle of opposite side, repeat for another apex, intersection is centre of area. > If triangle has thickness go from centre of area vertically down to half thickness of material. This is the centre of mass or centroid
In simple terms, if you draw lines from each corner/vertex, to the middle of the opposite side, you will find the lines converge or meet at one point. That point is the centroid.
how the hell do you even find the centroid of a triangle to begin with, that's what i want to know!

Find the average of both medians to find 'the median'.
# First find the circumcenter & centroid. # subtract centroid from circumcenter.
m is equal to 2
If the coordinates of the three vertices are A = (p, s) B = (q, t) and R = (r, u) then centroid, G = [(p+q+r)/3, (s+t+u)/3].
you take both of the medians and find the average at the end add them together
