The Centroid of a Triangle 1) Construct of Triangle of Given Length Sides (Example 7, 5, 4 inches) 1. Begin by constructing the longest side (7) using a ruler. 2. Using the ruler as a measurement tool, set the radius of the compass to 5 inches. Center the compass on one endpoint and make the arc as shown. 3. Using the ruler as a measurement too, set the radius of the compass to 4 inches. Center the compass on the other endpoint and make the arc as shown. Label the intersection P. Connect point P with the endpoints of the segment to form the triangle. Since the first arc contained only points 5 inches away from one end of the segment, and the second arc contained only points 4 inches away from the other end, their intersection at point P is the only possible point above the line that is both 5 inches away from one end of the segment and 4 inches away from the other. Using this process, a point could have been constructed below the segment, but it still would have had the same length sides as the triangle to the right. 2) Constructing and Isosceles Triangle Follow the procedure for constructing a triangle of given sides, but keep the radius the same for both arcs. 3) Constructing an Equilateral T
