Find the centroid of ΔABC whose vertices are A(2, 2), B(-4, -4) and C(5, - 8).

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

The centroid of a Δ whose vertices are (x_1,y₁), (x_2,y₂) and (x_3,y₃) is given by-

∴ centroid of the given ΔABC ≡ [ (2-4 + 5)/3 , (2-4-8)/3 ]

≡ (1,-10/3)

Thus, the centroid of the given triangle ABC is (1,-10/3).
