Answer:

$\\X_(C.G)=(\int xdA)/(A)\\Y_(C.G)=(\int ydA)/(A)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The x co-ordinate of the centroid is given by:

$x_(C.G)=(\int xdA)/(A)$

The y co-ordinate of the centroid is given by:

$Y_(C.G)=(\int ydA)/(A)$

where

$x^{}$ is the x co-ordinate of a diffrential area

and
$y^{}$ is the x co-ordinate of a diffrential area
