Question

Find the coordinates of the centroid with A(0,8), B(6,4), and C(3,0)

Answer 1

The coordinate of the centroid with the given vertices is (3, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following points:

A(0, 8), B(6, 4), and C(3, 0)

We have:

`\begin{gathered} x_1=0 \\ y_1=8 \\ x_2=6 \\ y_2=4 \\ x_3=3 \\ y_3=0 \end{gathered}`

The coordinates of the centroid is given as:

`((x_1+x_2+x_3)/(3),(y_1+y_2+y_3)/(3))`

Which is:

`\begin{gathered} (\frac{0+6+3_{}}{3},(8+4+0)/(3)) \\ \\ =((9)/(3),(12)/(3)) \\ \\ =(3,4) \end{gathered}`
