If the middle points of the sides of a triangle are `(-2,3),(4,-3),a n d(4,5)` , then find the centroid of the triangle.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(2,5//3)`
As we know that the centroid of triangle ABC and that of the triangle formed by joining the middle points of the sides of triangle ABC are the same. So,the required centroid is `((4+4-2)/(3),(5-3+3)/(3))=(2,(1)/(sqrt3))`
