प्रश्न
If G(-2, 1) is the centroid of a ΔABC and two of its vertices are A(1, -6) and B(-5, 2) , find the third vertex of the triangle.
उत्तर
Two vertices of ΔABC are A(1, -6) and B(-5, 2) Let the third vertex be C(a, b). Then the coordinates of its centroid are
`c ((1-5+a)/3,(-6+2+b)/3)`
`c((-4+a)/3,(-4+b)/3)`
But it is given that G (-2.1) is the centroid. Therefore,
`-2 = (-4+a)/3, 1=(-4+b)/3`
⇒ -6=-4+a,3=-4+b
⇒ -6+4= a, 3+4=b
⇒ a =-2, b=7
Therefore, the third vertex of ΔABC is C (-2,7 ).
