Right triangle angle vertex to the midpoint of the hypotenuse. Also, the center of the circle that circumscribes a right triangle is the midpoint of the hypotenuse and its radius is one half the length of the hypotenuse. The following formulas hold for the medians of a right triangle: The median on the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the triangle into two isosceles triangles, because the median equals one-half the hypotenuse. The medians "m" and "m" from the legs satisfy In a right triangle, the Euler line contains the median on the hypotenuse—that is, it goes through both the right-angled vertex
Medial triangle Medial triangle Each side of the medial triangle is called a "midsegment" (or "midline"). In general, a midsegment of a triangle is a line segment which joins the midpoints of two sides of the triangle. It is parallel to the third side and has a length equal to half the length of the third side. The medial triangle can also be viewed as the image of triangle "ABC" transformed by a homothety centered at the centroid with ratio -1/2. Thus, the sides of the medial triangle are half and parallel to the corresponding sides of triangle ABC. Hence, the medial
