Question -
Answer -
(i) The median fromA meets BC at D. Find the coordinates of point D.
(ii) Find thecoordinates of the point P on AD such that AP : PD = 2 : 1.
(iii) Find thecoordinates of point Q and R on medians BE and CF respectively such that BQ :QE = 2:1 and CR : RF = 2 : 1.
(iv) What do youobserve?
[Note : The pointwhich is common to all the three medians is called the centroid
and this pointdivides each median in the ratio 2 : 1.]
(v) If A (x1,y1), B (x2, y2) and C (x3, y3)are the vertices of triangle ABC, find the coordinates of the centroid of thetriangle.
