I just need to know how to construct a median. Of any triangle.
Take a space in you compass somewhat bigger that half the side of the triangle.
Make half a circle with this radius centered in one endpoint of the side.
Make half a circle with this radius centered in the other endpoint of the side.
The half circles crosses each other in 2 points.
Connect the two crosspoints with a line, where that line crosses the side of the triangle you have the midpoint of that side.
Connect the third angle in the triangle with the found middle point on the side. This is the median.
When you have some agility in making this middle point, you see you don need half circle but only two times two small circle segment
