How to Use the Centroid of a Triangle Calculator

The Centroid of a Triangle Calculator is used to find the centroid of a triangle when the coordinates of its three vertices are known. The centroid is the point where the three medians of the triangle intersect and is also the triangle's center of mass.

Steps to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the X and Y coordinates for each of the three vertices of the triangle.
  2. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the centroid.
  3. The X and Y coordinates of the centroid will be displayed below the button.
  4. If you need to start over, click the "Reset" button to clear all input fields.

Understanding the Centroid

The centroid of a triangle is calculated as the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of the three vertices. The formula for the centroid (G) is:

G = ( (x1 + x2 + x3) / 3 , (y1 + y2 + y3) / 3 )

Where (x1, y1), (x2, y2), and (x3, y3) are the coordinates of the three vertices of the triangle.
