Let `O(0,0),P(3,4),` and `Q(6,0)` be the vertices of triangle `O P Q` . The point `R` inside the triangle `O P Q` is such that the triangles `O P R ,P Q R ,O Q R` are of equal area. The coordinates of `R` are

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As discussed earlier, three medians of a triangle divide the triangle into six equal areas. So point R must be centroid.
Therefore, `R-=((3+6+0)/(3),(4+0+0)/(3))-=(3,(4)/(3))`
