The median triangle of a given (reference) triangle is a
triangle
A triangle is a polygon with three corners and three sides, one of the basic shapes in geometry. The corners, also called ''vertices'', are zero-dimensional points while the sides connecting them, also called ''edges'', are one-dimension ...
, the sides of which are equal and parallel to the
medians of its reference triangle. The area of the median triangle is
of the area of its reference triangle, and the median triangle of the median triangle is similar to the reference triangle of the first median triangle with a scaling factor of
