If a circle of constant radius `3c` passes through the origin and meets the axes at `A and B` , prove that the locus of the centroid of ` triangleA B C` is a circle of radius `2c`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the coordinates of A and B are (a,0) and (0,b) respectively
Clearly, OAB is a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse AB is a diameter of the circle.
Thus AB=2(3k)=6k
In traingle AOB,
