उत्तर

 

We have to find the co-ordinates of the third vertex of the given triangle. Let the co-ordinates of the third vertex be(x,y).

The co-ordinates of other two vertices are (−3, 1) and (0, −2)

The co-ordinate of the centroid is (0, 0)

We know that the co-ordinates of the centroid of a triangle whose vertices are   

`(x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2),(x_3,y_3)`is 

`((x_1+x_2+x_3)/3,(y_1+y_2+y_3)/3)` 

So, 

`(0,0)=((x+0-0)/3,(y+1-2)/3)` 

Compare individual terms on both the sides- 

`(x-3)/3=0` 

So, 

x=3 

Similarly, 

`(y-1)/3=0` 

So, 

y=1 

So the co-ordinate of third vertex (3,1)
