Question

If the middle points of the sides of a triangle be (–2, 3),

(4, –3) and (4, 5), then the centroid of the triangle is-

• A. (5/3, 2)
• B. (5/6, 1)
• C. (2, 5/3)
• D. (1, 5/6)

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

(2, 5/3)

Answer 2

Centroid of DDEF = Centroid of DABC

= $\left( \frac{- 2 + 4 + 4}{3},\frac{3 - 3 + 5}{3} \right)$ = $\left( 2,\frac{5}{3} \right)$
