The correct Answer is:
To find the coordinates of the centroid of triangle ABC with vertices A \((x_1, y_1)\), B \((x_2, y_2)\), and C \((x_3, y_3)\), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Centroid**: The centroid of a triangle is the point where the three medians intersect. It can also be thought of as the average of the vertices' coordinates. 2. **Formula for the Centroid**: The coordinates of the centroid (G) can be calculated using the formula: \[ G\left(x_G, y_G\right) = \left(\frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3}, \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3}\right) \] 3. **Calculate the x-coordinate of the Centroid**: Using the formula: \[ x_G = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3} \] 4. **Calculate the y-coordinate of the Centroid**: Using the formula: \[ y_G = \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3} \] 5. **Combine the Results**: Therefore, the coordinates of the centroid G are: \[ G\left(\frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3}, \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3}\right) \] ### Final Answer: The coordinates of the centroid of triangle ABC are: \[ G\left(\frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3}, \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3}\right) \]
