Question statement

Determine the coordinates of the centroids of the three shapes. Grid units are [{units}].

{geogebra_applet('xjjm7qqr',[['R_1',R1],['R_2',R2],['T_1',T1],['T_2',T2],['C_1',C1],['C_2',C2]])}

Give any introductory information the student needs.

R1	vector	vector(-8,7)
R2	vector	vector(-10,-2)
T1	vector	vector(8,2)
T2	vector	vector(-4,0)
C1	vector	vector(9,4)
C2	vector	vector(3,4)

Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

Part	$\bar{x}$	$\bar{y}$
Rectangle	$R_x$	$R_y$
Triangle	$T_x$	$T_y$
Semicircle:	$C_x$	$C_y$

{RC} {units}

{TC} {units}

{CC} {units}

Advice

For a rectangle, the centroid is at the geometric center.

For a right triangle, divide the base and height into thirds. The centroid is located at the intersection point nearest to the right angle.

For a semicircle, the centroid is located on the axis of symmetry, a distance of $\frac{4r}{3\pi}$ from the straight edge.

Give a worked solution to the whole question.
