Question

Triangle ABC has vertices A(-3, 3), B(2, 5), and C(4, - 3).

a. What is the x-coordinate of the centroid of triangle ABC?
(-,5/3)

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the x-coordinate of the centroid of triangle ABC, we need to take the average of the x-coordinates of the three vertices of the triangle. The x-coordinates of the vertices of triangle ABC are -3, 2, and 4, so the average of these three numbers is (-3 + 2 + 4) / 3 = (3) / 3 = 1.

Therefore, the x-coordinate of the centroid of triangle ABC is 1. The correct answer is (-,1). The given answer (-,5/3) is not the correct x-coordinate of the centroid.
