A medium piece is located in the middle between a larger piece and a smaller one.
Median is a concept that can be used as an adjective or as a noun in various contexts and with different meanings. The term has its etymological origin in the Latin mediānus (translated as “of the middle” ).
In its adjective version, medium or its feminine account for something that is moderate, midway between large and small, or of intermediate quality . For example: “I'm going to take the medium pot,” “Which chair do you think is most convenient for your desk?” In my opinion, the medium one will be perfect” , “Please hand me the screws that are stored in the medium box” .
Median in geometry
From the field of geometry , a median is understood as a transversal line that allows joining the vertex of a triangular figure with the midpoint of its opposite side. Each median, therefore, allows the triangle to be divided into 2 areas of identical surface area.
The trio of medians present in a triangle, on the other hand, converge at the barycenter (also known as the centroid or center of gravity ) of the figure.
We have to emphasize that, when we talk about median, we find the existence of a theory about it that is known as Apollonius's Theorem, in honor of the person who developed it. What it does is relate the length of the median of a specific triangle to the lengths of the sides of the aforementioned geometric shape.
The aforementioned theory establishes that the sum of the squares of any two sides of the triangle is equal to half the square of the length of the third side plus twice the square of the corresponding median.
The Greek geometer Apollonius of Perga , as we said previously, is the one who developed this theorem for which he is known. But he is also because he is the person who established a series of terms that are used in that area today. Specifically, he was the one who gave names to the hyperbola , the ellipse and the parabola . In the same way, we cannot forget that said character was born in the year 262 BC. C. in the city of Perga , he established the theory of epicycles .
A middle-aged individual is between approximately 45 and 65 years old.
Other uses of the notion
In statistics , the median represents the value of the central position variable within a set of organized data. This means that the set of data equal to or less than the median will represent 50% of the data, while the data greater than the median will represent the remaining 50%.
The separation that makes it impossible to pass between the opposite direction lanes on a highway or highway; the pool cue , which is somewhat larger than the common ones and is used to play balls that are far from the railings; the strap used to tie the barzon to the yoke of the teams and the grammar class that dealt with the use and construction of the parts of a sentence are also known as median.
In the same way, we cannot forget that Mediana is the name of an important archaeological site of Roman origin located in Serbia . More specifically, we can emphasize that it can be visited in the city of Nis , which is located in the south of the country and is considered the third largest in the nation.
