Vertices of the triangle XYZ are X(3, −2), Y(15, 6), and Z(−6, −10).
Let G(xy) be the centroid of the triangle XYZ.
If A(x1y1), B(x2y2) and C(x3y3) are the vertices of a ∆ABC then, the centroid of ∆ABC is given by G(xyx1+x2+x33,y1+y2+y33.
∴G(xy) = 3+15-63,-2+6-103=4,-2
Thus, the coordinates of the centroid of triangle XYZ are (4, −2).
