उत्तर
The co-ordinates of the vertices are (a, b); (b, c) and (c, a)
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) = `((a + b+ c ) /3 , ( b+ c+ a ) / 3)`
Compare individual terms on both the sides-
`(a + b+ c) / 3 = 0`
Therefore,
a + b+ c = 0

(Street Plan): A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction.
All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200 m apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using 1cm = 200 m, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines.
There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North - South direction and another in the East - West direction. Each cross street is referred to in the following manner : If the 2nd street running in the North - South direction and 5th in the East - West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street (2, 5). Using this convention, find:
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (4, 3).
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (3, 4).
