Find the equation of a plane which meets the axes in A, B and C, given that the centroid of the triangle ABC is the point (α, β, γ).
It is given in the question that the plane meets the axes in A, B, C
So now let us assume that A = (a, 0, 0), B = (0, b, 0) and C = (0, 0, c)
Given that the centroid is and we know the formula of the centroid of
So,
So we have now
We know that, The equation of the plane whose intercepts on the coordinate axes a, b, c is given by the equation
Now substitute a, b, c
We get
so this is the equation.
