FINDING THE CENTROID OF A TRIANGLE WORKSHEET

(1)  Find the centroid of the triangle. 

(i)  (2, −4), (−3, −7) and (7, 2)

(ii)  (−5,−5),  (1,−4) and (−4,−2)           Solution

(2)  If the centroid of a triangle is at (4,−2) and two of its vertices are (3,−2) and (5,2) then find the third vertex of the triangle         Solution

(3)  Find the length of median through A of a triangle whose vertices are A(−1, 3), B(1, −1) and C(5, 1). 

Solution

(4)  Th e vertices of a triangle are (1, 2), (h, −3) and (−4, k). If the centroid of the triangle is at the point (5, −1) then find the value of √(h + k)² + (h + 3k)².        Solution

(5)  Orthocentre and centroid of a triangle are A(−3, 5) and B(3, 3) respectively. If C is the circumcentre and AC is the diameter of this circle, then find the radius of the circle.   Solution

(6)  ABC is a triangle whose vertices are A(3, 4), B(−2, −1) and C(5, 3) . If G is the centroid and BDCG is a parallelogram then find the coordinates of the vertex D.   Solution

(7)  If (3/2, 5) (7, -9/2) and (13/2, -13/2) are mid-points of the sides of a triangle, then find the centroid of the triangle.    Solution
