HARD
IMPORTANT

Find the centroid and incentre of the triangle whose vertices are 2,4,6,4,2,0.

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

The area of a triangle is 32 square units. Two of its vertices are the points A(2,-3) and B(3,-2); the centroid of the triangle lies on the line 3 x-y-8=0 . Find the third vertex C.

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

Two vertices of a triangle are A2,1 and B3,-2.The third vertex C lies on the line y=x+9. If the centroid of ΔABC lies on y-axis, find the coordinates of C and the centroid.

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

Find the centroid of the triangle ABC whose vertices are A (9,2), B(1,10) and C(-7,-6). Find the coordinates of the middle points of its sides and hence find the centroid of the triangle formed by joining these middle points. Do the two triangles have the same centroid?
