The correct Answer is:
To find the centroid of the triangle with vertices \( A(1, \sqrt{3}) \), \( B(0, 0) \), and \( C(2, 0) \), we will use the formula for the centroid of a triangle given by the coordinates of its vertices. The formula for the centroid \( G(x, y) \) is: \[ G\left(x, y\right) = \left(\frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3}, \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3}\right) \] ### Step 1: Identify the coordinates of the vertices The coordinates of the vertices are: - \( A(1, \sqrt{3}) \) where \( x_1 = 1 \) and \( y_1 = \sqrt{3} \) - \( B(0, 0) \) where \( x_2 = 0 \) and \( y_2 = 0 \) - \( C(2, 0) \) where \( x_3 = 2 \) and \( y_3 = 0 \) ### Step 2: Substitute the coordinates into the centroid formula Now we substitute the coordinates into the centroid formula: \[ G\left(x, y\right) = \left(\frac{1 + 0 + 2}{3}, \frac{\sqrt{3} + 0 + 0}{3}\right) \] ### Step 3: Calculate the x-coordinate of the centroid Calculating the x-coordinate: \[ x = \frac{1 + 0 + 2}{3} = \frac{3}{3} = 1 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the y-coordinate of the centroid Calculating the y-coordinate: \[ y = \frac{\sqrt{3} + 0 + 0}{3} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} \] ### Step 5: Final coordinates of the centroid Thus, the coordinates of the centroid \( G \) are: \[ G\left(1, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\right) \] ### Step 6: Rationalize the y-coordinate To express the y-coordinate in a different form, we can rationalize it: \[ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] So the coordinates of the centroid can also be expressed as: \[ G\left(1, \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right) \] ### Conclusion The centroid of the triangle with vertices \( (1, \sqrt{3}), (0, 0), (2, 0) \) is: \[ \boxed{\left(1, \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)} \]
