Let A(x, y, z), B(x2, y2, z2) and C(x3, y3, z3) be the vertices of the given triangle ABC and Let D(1, 2, –3), E(3, 0, 1) and F(–1, 1, –4) be the mid-points of sides BC, CA, and AB respectively,
figure
i.e
i.e x1 + x2 = –2, y1 + y2 = 2, z1 + z2 = – 8 and x2 + x3 = 2, y2 + y3 = 4, z2 + z3 = – 6
∴ Centroid has co-ordinates
i.e from (1), (2) and (3), we get
Coordinate of centroid
i.e coordinate of centroid is given by (1, 1, –2)
