The correct Answer is:
To find the coordinates of the centroid of a triangle with given vertices, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the coordinates of the vertices. The vertices of the triangle are given as: - Vertex A: \( (3, -5, 7) \) - Vertex B: \( (-1, 7, -6) \) - Vertex C: \( (1, 1, 2) \) ### Step 2: Use the formula for the centroid. The formula for the centroid \( G(x, y, z) \) of a triangle with vertices \( (x_1, y_1, z_1) \), \( (x_2, y_2, z_2) \), and \( (x_3, y_3, z_3) \) is given by: \[ G_x = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3}, \quad G_y = \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3}, \quad G_z = \frac{z_1 + z_2 + z_3}{3} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the coordinates into the formula. - For the x-coordinate: \[ G_x = \frac{3 + (-1) + 1}{3} = \frac{3 - 1 + 1}{3} = \frac{3}{3} = 1 \] - For the y-coordinate: \[ G_y = \frac{-5 + 7 + 1}{3} = \frac{-5 + 8}{3} = \frac{3}{3} = 1 \] - For the z-coordinate: \[ G_z = \frac{7 + (-6) + 2}{3} = \frac{7 - 6 + 2}{3} = \frac{3}{3} = 1 \] ### Step 4: Combine the coordinates to find the centroid. Thus, the coordinates of the centroid \( G \) are: \[ G(1, 1, 1) \] ### Final Answer: The coordinates of the centroid of the triangle are \( (1, 1, 1) \). ---
