The correct Answer is:
To find the centroid of triangle ABC given the coordinates of point B, the length of AB, and the angle ABC, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the coordinates of point B Given that the coordinates of point B are (0, 0), we can denote: - \( B(0, 0) \) ### Step 2: Determine the coordinates of point C We know that the midpoint of BC is (2, 0). Let the coordinates of point C be \( C(x_C, y_C) \). Since the midpoint M of segment BC is given by: \[ M = \left( \frac{x_B + x_C}{2}, \frac{y_B + y_C}{2} \right) \] Substituting the known values: \[ (2, 0) = \left( \frac{0 + x_C}{2}, \frac{0 + y_C}{2} \right) \] From the x-coordinate: \[ 2 = \frac{x_C}{2} \implies x_C = 4 \] From the y-coordinate: \[ 0 = \frac{y_C}{2} \implies y_C = 0 \] Thus, the coordinates of point C are: - \( C(4, 0) \) ### Step 3: Determine the coordinates of point A We are given that \( AB = 2 \) and \( \angle ABC = \frac{\pi}{3} \) (which is 60 degrees). The coordinates of point A can be found using polar coordinates: \[ A(x_A, y_A) = (r \cos \theta, r \sin \theta) \] where \( r = 2 \) and \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{3} \): \[ x_A = 2 \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 1 \] \[ y_A = 2 \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = 2 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \sqrt{3} \] Thus, the coordinates of point A are: - \( A(1, \sqrt{3}) \) ### Step 4: Calculate the centroid of triangle ABC The centroid \( G \) of triangle ABC is given by the formula: \[ G\left( \frac{x_A + x_B + x_C}{3}, \frac{y_A + y_B + y_C}{3} \right) \] Substituting the coordinates of points A, B, and C: \[ G\left( \frac{1 + 0 + 4}{3}, \frac{\sqrt{3} + 0 + 0}{3} \right) = G\left( \frac{5}{3}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} \right) \] ### Final Answer The coordinates of the centroid \( G \) are: \[ G\left( \frac{5}{3}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} \right) \]
