You are building a new desk for your room and decide to make

You are building a new desk for your room and decide to make it triangular in shape. You want to be able to put chairs on all three sides of the triangle so you want the legs to be in the center of the triangle. This is going to be tricky because you need to find the point where the triangle will balance in the center. This point where the triangle will balance is called the centroid. It is the point where all three medians of the sides of the triangle intersect. Now that you have learned about two points of intersections within a triangle please answer the following two questions. Which of the points do you believe is the center of gravity based on the description above? The centroid or the incenter? How can you tell from the description? Please come up with your own real-life scenario that could be accurately represented by either the centroid or incenter. Please explain which term you are describing, incenter or centroid, and how your real-life scenario fits the definition of the term you chose. Next, respond to two peers remarking in complete sentences on their real-life scenario. If they stated their real-life scenario was the incenter, explain why it was not the centroid. If their real-life scenario was the centroid, explain why it was not the incenter. Forum Directions: Put your cursor in the reply box below to start a reply to the topic. Enter your text.
