    Question

    The vertices of triangle ABC are A(2, 3), B(8, 5) and

    C(5, βˆ’1). Find the coordinates of the centroid of the triangle.
    A (3, 1/3) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B (5/2, 7/3) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C (3, 5/3) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D (5, 7/3) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Centroid G of triangle with vertices (x₁, y₁), (xβ‚‚, yβ‚‚), (x₃, y₃): G = ( (x₁ + xβ‚‚ + x₃)/3 , (y₁ + yβ‚‚ + y₃)/3 ) Here: x₁ = 2, y₁ = 3 xβ‚‚ = 8, yβ‚‚ = 5 x₃ = 5, y₃ = βˆ’1 x-coordinate of centroid = (2 + 8 + 5)/3 = 15/3 = 5 y-coordinate of centroid = (3 + 5 βˆ’ 1)/3 = 7/3 So centroid is G(5, 7/3).
