Question

Find the co-ordinates of the point of intersection of the medians of the triangle whose vertices are A(-7, 5), B(-1, -3) and C(5, 7).

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

The medians of a triangle intersect at centroid of triangle. By using the centroid formula, A(-7, 5), B(-1, -3) and C(5, 7) Substitute values we get: Hence, co-ordinates of the point of intersection of the medians = (-1, 3).
