find the centroid of triangle formed by the vertices a,o - a,o and 0,0
Answers
Answer:
0 , -a/3
Step-by-step explanation:
centroid = (x1 + x2 + x3) / 3 ; (y1 + y2 + y3) / 3
= (a-a+0) / 3 ; ( 0 - a + 0) / 3
centroid = 0 , -a/3

Step-by-step explanation:
Given :-
The points are : (a,0) , (-a,0) ans (0,0)
To find :-
Fond the centroid of the triangle formed by the given points ?
Solution :-
Given points are : (a,0) , (-a,0) ans (0,0)
Let (x1, y1) = (a,0) => x1 = a and y1 = 0
Let (x2, y2) = (-a,0) => x2 = -a and y2 = 0
Let (x3, y3) = (0,0) => x3 =0 and y3 = 0
We know that
The Centroid of a triangle formed by the points (x1, y1) ,(x2, y2) and (x3, y3) is denoted by G(x,y) and defined by ({x1+x2+x3}/3 , {y1+y2+y3}/3}
On Substituting these values in the above formula then
=> G(x,y) = ({a+(-a)+0}/3 ,{0+0+0)/3)
=> G(x,y) = ({a-a+0}/3 ,0/3}
=> G(x,y) = (0/3,0/3)
=> G(x,y) = (0,0)
It is an Origin.
Answer:-
The Centroid of the triangle formed by the given points is (0,0) or Origin.
Used formulae:-
The Centroid of a triangle formed by the points (x1, y1) ,(x2, y2) and (x3, y3) is denoted by G(x,y) and defined by ({x1+x2+x3}/3 , {y1+y2+y3}/3}
Points to know:-
- The concurrent point of the medians of a triangle is called The Centroid.
- It is denoted by G
- The Centroid divides the median into 1:2 ratio .
- It is a Trisectional point of the median in a triangle.
