Find the centroid of the triangle whose vertices (1, 4), (- 1, - 1), (3, - 2).

Given: Points vertices (1, 4), (- 1, - 1), (3, - 2)


To find: The centroid of the triangle.


Formula Used:


Centroid of a triangle for (x1, y1), (x2, y2) and (x3, y3) is



Explanation:



We know that centroid of a triangle for (x1, y1), (x2, y2) and (x3, y3) is



∴For coordinates (1, 4), ( - 1, - 1), (3, - 2),


Centroid of triangle



Hence, the centroid of the triangle is .
