Question

What is the centroidal distance of an equilateral triangle of side 2 m

Answer 1

The centroid of a triangle is the point where the three medians of the triangle intersect.

The centroid is 2/3 of the distance along the median from the vertex of that triangle, or the 1/3 of the distance along the median from the right angle point.

Given that, the triangle is equilateral of side 2m, length of the median must be $\sqrt{3}$.

So, the centroidal distance of that triangle must be 1/3 of the median from the right angle point.

which is $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}$ = 0.5773502692
