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')


Answer should be C

Is this the property of an equilateral triangle or any type of triangle? I could not comprehend how this could be true for a triangle that has three unequal sides.

thanks!
