Centroid

Centroid

The centroid is the centre point of the object. The point in which the three medians of the triangle intersect is known as the centroid of a triangle. It is also defined as the point of intersection of all the three medians. The median is a line that joins the midpoint of a side and the opposite vertex of the triangle. The centroid of the triangle separates the median in the ratio of 2: 1. It can be found by taking the average of x- coordinate points and y-coordinate points of all the vertices of the triangle.
