Centroid of a Right Triangle

Centroid of a Right Triangle The centroid of a Triangle is the centre of the triangle, which is the point of intersection of all the three medians of a triangle. If we have an object, then we can say that the centroid of that object is its centre. The centroid of the triangle separates the median in the ratio 2:1. The centroid of a triangle can be got by finding the average of the x-coordinates value and the average of the y-coordinates value of all the vertices of the triangle. Centroid of a Triangle Formula In the figure shown below, the three vertices of the triangle are , and If , and are the vertices of a triangle then the centroid of the triangle is Centroid of a Triangle Solved Examples Below are few examples based on centroid of a triangle Example 1: Calculate the centroid of the triangle whose vertices are A(4, 8), B(2, 6) and C(0, 10). Solution: Given that the vertices are A(4, 8), B(2, 6) and C(0, 10) Know More About Calculate Arc Length Math.Tutorvista.com Page No. :- 1/5

A(4, 8) is B(2, 6) is C(0, 10) is The formula to calculate the centroid of the triangle is The centroid of the triangle with vertices A(4, 8), B(2, 6) and C(0, 10) is (2, 8). Example 2: Calculate the centroid of the triangle whose vertices are A(5, 4), B(6, 1) and C(9, 0). Solution: Given that the vertices are A(5, 4), B(6, 1) and C(9, 0). A(5, 4) is B(6, 1) is C(9, 0) is The formula to calculate the centroid of the triangle is The centroid of the triangle with vertices A(5, 4), B(6, 1) and C(9, 0)is (6.67, 1.67). Example 3: Calculate the centroid of the triangle whose vertices are A(-5, 5), B(5, 5) and C(0, -5). Solution: Given that the vertices are A(-5, 5), B(5, 5) and C(0, -5) A(-5, 5) is B(5, 5) is C(0, -5) is The formula to calculate the centroid of the triangle is The centroid of the triangle with vertices A(-5, 5), B(5, 5) and C(0, -5) is (0, 1.67).

Arc Length of a Circle

Arc Length of a Circle Here we are going to learn about Arc length and formula to find the Arc Length. Arc Length is nothing but length or an arc. Arc is a curve. We can also call it as arc length of a curve. Arc length is defined as the measure of the distance along the curved line making up an arc. The arc length is longer than the straight line distance between its end points. We can consider an segment in a circle, which is an arc. Consider the below figure In the figure shown above, the arc length is the blue coloured portion indicated by s. Let be the angle made by the end points with the center of the circle. The distance from one end point of the curve or arc to the center is called as radius. If we know the radius and value we can find out the arc length using the below formula. Arc Length Formula Formula in Degrees : Arc length = ( *2 r)/360 where, is the central angle of the arc in degrees. r is the radius of the circle. is pi, approximately, =3.142.

Formula in Radians: If the central angle is in radians, then this formula is used. Arc length = R * C where, C is the central angle in radians. R is the radius of the circle. Finding Arc Length Below are the examples on finding arc length Example 1 : Determine the arc length of the circle with radius and central angle is 600 . Solution : We have the formula for arc length as, arc length = Step 1: We have the radius and the central angle from the problem.Now simply substitute the given values in the above formula. Step 2: arc length = = 5.2365 cm Step 3: The arc length of the circle is . Example 2 : Calculate the arc length of a circle with circumference and the the central angle is given by 450 . Solution : Step 1: As the circumference of the circle is given, the radius of the circle can be calculated as mentioned in the above formula table. Read More About Alternate Interior Angle
