 what is the place where all medians meet called ?

 A median of a triangle is a straight line through a vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side, and divides the triangle into two equal areas. The three medians intersect in a single point, the triangle's centroid or geometric barycenter. The centroid of a rigid triangular object (cut out of a thin sheet of uniform density) is also its center of mass: the object can be balanced on its centroid in a uniform gravitational field. The centroid cuts every median in the ratio 2:1, i.e. the distance between a vertex and the centroid is twice the distance between the centroid and the midpoint of the opposite side.

Dear Student!

A median of a triangle is a line segment joining the vertex to the mid point of the opposite vertex. Every triangle has exactly three medians, one from each vertex to the opposite side. The point of intersection of the medians of the triangles is called the centroid of the triangle.

In the given figure, AD, BE and CF are the medians of the ΔABC. The point of intersection of AD, BE and CF is O, which is the centroid of the ΔABC.

Cheers!
