Centroid Formula
In the sketch below, G is the centroid for the triangle.
Drag points A, B, and C around, observing their coordinates.
Observe how the coordinates of G change as A, B, and C are changed.
Determine a "formula" that can be used to determine the coordinates of the centroid, given the coordinates of the vertices of a triangle.
