Question
If a vertex of a triangle is (1, 1) and the mid-points of two sides through this vertex are (-1, 2) and (3, 2), then the centroid of the triangle is
-
(-1, 7/3)
-
(-1/3, 7/3)
-
(1, 7/3)
-
(1/3, 7/3)
Solution
C.
(1, 7/3)
Vertex of triangle is (1, 1) and midpoint of sides through this vertex is (-1, 2) and (3, 2) ⇒ vertex B and C come out to be (-3, 3) and (5, 3)
therefore centroid is
