The correct Answer is:
To find the coordinates of the centroid of triangle ABC with vertices A(1, 4), B(3, 2), and C(7, 5), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the coordinates of the vertices The coordinates of the vertices are: - A (x₁, y₁) = (1, 4) - B (x₂, y₂) = (3, 2) - C (x₃, y₃) = (7, 5) ### Step 2: Use the formula for the centroid The formula for the centroid (G) of a triangle with vertices at (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂), and (x₃, y₃) is given by: \[ G\left(x, y\right) = \left(\frac{x₁ + x₂ + x₃}{3}, \frac{y₁ + y₂ + y₃}{3}\right) \] ### Step 3: Calculate the x-coordinate of the centroid Substituting the x-coordinates of the vertices into the formula: \[ x = \frac{x₁ + x₂ + x₃}{3} = \frac{1 + 3 + 7}{3} = \frac{11}{3} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the y-coordinate of the centroid Now substituting the y-coordinates of the vertices into the formula: \[ y = \frac{y₁ + y₂ + y₃}{3} = \frac{4 + 2 + 5}{3} = \frac{11}{3} \] ### Step 5: Write the coordinates of the centroid Thus, the coordinates of the centroid G are: \[ G\left(\frac{11}{3}, \frac{11}{3}\right) \] ### Final Answer: The coordinates of the centroid of triangle ABC are \(\left(\frac{11}{3}, \frac{11}{3}\right)\). ---
