Solution

$\to$ centroid coordinates:
$G_{x} = \frac{x_{1} + x_{2} + x_{3}}{3} \Rightarrow 0 = \frac{1 - 2 + c_{x}}{3}$
$\Rightarrow c_{x} = 1$
$G_{y} = \frac{y_{1} + y_{2} + y_{3}}{3} = 0 = \frac{1 + 4 + c_{y}}{3} \Rightarrow c_{y} - 5$
$G_{z} = \frac{z_{1} + z_{2} + z_{3}}{3} = 0 = \frac{1 + 1 + c_{z}}{3} \Rightarrow c_{z} - 2$
$\Rightarrow c = (1, - 5, - 2)$
