Question

If (-7,6) , (2,-2) , (8,5) are vertices of triangle then the co-ordinates of centroid are

Answer 1

Answer:

Centroid = (1,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

P = (x₁,y₁) = (-7,6)

Q = (x₂,y₂) = (2,-2)

R = (x₃,y₃) = (8,5)

Formula used for centroid of the triangle whose vertices are P, Q and R, is given by:

Centroid = (x1+x2+x3)/ 3, (y1+y2+y3)/3

Now,

Put the values, we get

C = (-7+2+8)/3 , (6-2+5)/3

C = 3/3 , 9/3 = 1,3

The centroid of the triangle = (1,3).
