the center of mass lies above the base of the

triangle one-third of the way toward the opposite vertex. Similarly the other two sides of the triangle can be
placed on the x-axis and the same results will occur. Therefore the centroid does lie at the intersection of the
medians, as claimed.

It also follows that the line through the points (! !) and

labeled as shown at the right. The centroid of the triangle is
a

a
ax, yb for the centroid of the remaining region. The centroid
of the whole square is obviously a6, 6b. Think of the square
as a sheet of uniform density, so that the centroid of the
square is the average of the centroids of the two regions,
weighted by area:
