List of centroids

The following is a list of centroids of

various two-dimensional and three-
dimensional objects. The centroid of an
object in -dimensional space is the
intersection of all hyperplanes that divide
into two parts of equal moment about
the hyperplane. Informally, it is the
"average" of all points of . For an object
of uniform composition, the centroid of a
body is also its center of mass. In the case
of two-dimensional objects shown below,
the hyperplanes are simply lines.
