How to Use Centroid of Triangle Formula to Solve Maths Questions?

BY Team Aakash Byju's

The point where the three medians of a triangle intersect is called as centroid of a triangle.

It is also defined as the point of intersection of all the three medians in a triangle.

The centroid of the triangle separates the median in a ratio of 2: 1.

Centroid formula is used to determine the coordinates of a triangle’s centroid.

Where C denotes the centroid of the triangle.  x1, x2, x3 are x-coordinates of a triangle. y1, y2, y3 are the y-coordinates of a triangle

Find the centroid of a triangle whose vertices are (5,3), (6,1) and (7,8).
