The coordinates of the centroid of a triangle with vertices (x1, y1), (x2, y2), and (x3, y3) is:
A((x1+x2+x3)/2, (y1+y2+y3)/2)
B((x1+x2+x3)/3, (y1+y2+y3)/3)
C(x1+x2+x3, y1+y2+y3)
D((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2)
✓ Correct Answer: B — ((x1+x2+x3)/3, (y1+y2+y3)/3)
The centroid is the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates.
