What are the coordinates of the centroid of a triangle, whose vertices are A(-2, -5), B(4, -4), and C(7, 3)?

What are the coordinates of the centroid of a triangle, whose vertices are A(-2, -5), B(4, -4), and C(7, 3)? Correct Answer (3, -2)

Given:

A(-2, -5), B(4, -4) and C(7, 3)

Concept:

Considering all three points as the vertices of the triangle.

The centroid or geometric center of a plane figure is the arithmetic mean position of all the vertices of the triangle

Formula used:

Centroid =

Calculation:

Centroid of triangle = (( -2 + 4 + 7)/3, (-5 + (-4) + 3)/3) = (3, -2)
