Find the coordinates of the centroid for a triangle with vertices located at the points (2, 1), (5, 4), and (8, 1).
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Point = (2,1), (5,4), (8,1)
According to the formula:
Centroid = (x₁+x₂+x₃)/3, (y₁+y₂+y₃)/3
x = (2+5+8)/3 = 15/3 = 5
y = (1+4+1)/3 = 6/3 = 2
(5,2)
