Find the centroid (x¯,y¯) of the triangle with vertices at

Question

(0,0), (8,0), and (0,6)?

Answer 1

The coordinates are (0, 0), (8, 0) and ( 0, 6)

Calculate the centroid by using following formula

C = [ (x₁ + x₂ + x₃ )/3 , (y₁ + y₂ + y₃ )/3]

(0, 0) = (x₁, y₁)

(8, 0) = (x₂, y₂)

(0, 6) = (x₃, y₃)

(x, y) = [(0 + 8 + 0)/3 , (0 + 0 + 6)/3]

C(x, y) = (8/3 , 6/3).
