Question

(a, 0) and (0, b) are two vertices of a triangle. If the center of gravity of the triangle is the origin; But find the vertex on the triangle

Answer 1

To find the centroid of a triangle, use the formula from the preceding section that locates a point two-thirds of the distance from the vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. For example, to find the centroid of a triangle with vertices at (0,0), (12,0) and (3,9), first find the midpoint of one of the sides.
