Q26 of 157 Page 760

If A(-1, 0), B(5, -2) and C(8, 2) are the vertices of a ∆ABC then its centroid is

Let P(x, y) be the centroid of the triangle


⇒ Finding the x-coordinate of P:


⇒


⇒


⇒ x = 4


Finding the y-coordinate of P:


⇒


⇒ y = 0


Therefore the coordinates of P are (4, 0).

If A(4, 2), B(6, 5) and C(1, 4) be the vertices of ∆ABC and AD is a median, then the coordinates of D are

 27

Two vertices of ABC are A (-1, 4) and B(5, 2) and its centroid is G(0, -3). Then, the coordinates of C are
