Find the Centroid on a Coordinate Plane SCULPTURE An artist is designing a sculpture that balances a triangle on top of a pole. In the artist’s design on the coordinate plane, the vertices are located at (1, 4), (3, 0), and (3, 8). What are the coordinates of the point where the artist should place the pole under the triangle so that it will balance? Understand You need to find the centroid of the triangle. This is the point at which the triangle will balance. Example 3
