The name for that point of intersection is the 'centroid'. As for how to find it; it really depends on what you are given. If you just have the equations of the medians, you could solve them, etc.
But theres a much nicer way if you have the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle. The centroid is just the 'average': (x1+x2+x3)/3, (y1+y2+y3)/3.
So if the triangle had coordinates (0,0), (2,0), (3,5), the centroid would be (5/3, 5/3).

You mean for a triangle, I presume. For each of the sides, draw a ray from the midpoint of the side to the angle opposite that side.

if you know the cordinate of vertix(let these are (a,d),(b,e),(c,f)) of triangle then intersection of three medians will be =((a+b+c)/3,(d+e+f)\3)
