MCQ
The centroid of a triangle is $(2, 7)$ and two of its vertices are $(4, 8)$ and $(-2, 6)$. The third vertex is
  • A
    $(0,0)$
  • $(4,7)$
  • C
    $(7,4)$
  • D
    $(7,7)$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$(4,7)$
b
(b) Let the third vertex be $(x, y)$, then

$\frac{{x + 4 + ( - 2)}}{3} = $2 $ \Rightarrow \,\,x = 4$

$\frac{{y + 8 + 6}}{3} = 7$ $ \Rightarrow \,\,y = 7$

$\therefore $ Third vertex $(x, y)$ is $(4, 7)$.
