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
Solve Graph the triangle and label the vertices A, B, and C. Find the Centroid on a Coordinate Plane Plan Graph and label the triangle with vertices at (1, 4), (3, 0), and (3, 8). Use the Midpoint Theorem to find the midpoint of one of the sides of the triangle. The centroid is two-thirds the distance from the opposite vertex to that midpoint. Solve Graph the triangle and label the vertices A, B, and C. Example 3
