In ∆ABC G is centriod if coordinates A are (x1 y1) and D are (x2 y2) find solution to find coordinate of G
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A(x1,y1), B(x2,y2), C(x3,y3).
Let D be the mid point of AB
By mid point formula coordinates of D will be begin mathsize 12px style open parentheses fraction numerator straight x subscript 1 space plus space straight x subscript 2 over denominator 2 end fraction comma fraction numerator straight y subscript 1 space plus space straight y subscript 2 over denominator 2 end fraction close parentheses end style
Now the centroid of the triangle divides the medians in the ratio 2:1.
Applying the section formula to get the co-ordinates of centroid, point P(x,y) on CD
Co-ordinates of P are
