CBSEENMA12036237

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 fraction numerator 1 minus 3 plus 5 over denominator 3 end fraction comma fraction numerator 1 plus 3 plus 3 over denominator 3 end fraction
rightwards double arrow space left parenthesis 1 comma 7 divided by 3 right parenthesis
