Question

Can u help me find the centroid of this triangle ?

Answer 1

The coordinates of the centroid are given by:

`\begin{gathered} C=(xc,yc) \\ xc=(Ax+Bx+Cx)/(3) \\ yc=(Ay+By+Cy)/(3) \end{gathered}`

Therefore:

`\begin{gathered} xc=(4+2+8)/(3)=(14)/(3) \\ yc=(8+0-4)/(3)=(4)/(3) \end{gathered}`

The coordinates of the centroid are:

`C=((14)/(3),(4)/(3))`
