Question

Triangle PQR has vertices P(0,6), Q (0,0) and R (6,0). Determine the coordinates of the centroid of triangle PQR

Answer 1

The coordinates of the centroid of a triangle are given by the formula :
x1 + x2 + x3 y1 + y2 + y3
x = -------------- and y = --------------
2 2

P(0,6), Q (0,0) and R (6,0)

0 + 0 + 6 6 + 0 + 0
x = ----------- and y = -----------
2 2

x = 3 and y = 3

so the point is (3, 3)

Answer 2

Yeah. Harkirat is truly correct. Answer is : (3,3)
