Not sure what you mean by "verifying" a polygon. Any polygon except a triangle can be composed of two or more triangles. If a polygon has n sides, then it can be composed of n-2 triangles. If you are given the vertices of each of the triangles, then you can determine the area of the polygon, and determine the length of each side and each interior angle.
So if the polygon is a quadrilateral of 4 sides, then you can draw a diagonal an form two triangles. Since you know the vertices of these two triangles, you can detremine the length of each side using the distance formula, and find each angle using the law of cosines and law of sines. Do this for both triangles and you have "verified" the polygon.

Given 3 medians, you are able to build a triangle, in spite of the shown fact that it is not unique. -------- concepts to construct the triangle: commence at 2/3 of the three segments of the medians, turn them around till you stumble on a triangle.
