Options
- A1 9 , 15 9 , - 3 9
- B1 4 , 15 4 , - 3 4
- C4 9 , 11 3 , - 10 9
- D- 1 9 , 12 9 , 1 9
Correct answer
C. 4 9 , 11 3 , - 10 9
Step-by-step solution
Point E is the centroid of face A B C ( which is a triangle ) Centroid = x 1 + x 2 + x 3 3 , y 1 + y 2 + y 3 3 , z 1 + z 2 + z 3 3 E = 2 + ( - 3 ) + ( - 1 ) 3 , 3 + 3 + 4 3 , - 4 + ( - 2 ) + 2 3 E = - 2 3 , 10 3 , - 4 3 Point F is the centroid of face A C D F = 2 + ( - 1 ) + 3 3 , 3 + 4 + 5 3 , - 4 + 2 + 1 3 F = 4 3 , 12 3 , - 1 3 = 4 3 , 4 , - 1 3 Point G is the centroid of face A B D G = 2 + ( - 3 ) + 3 3 , 3 + 3 + 5 3 , - 4 + ( - 2 ) + 1 3 G = 2 3 , 11 3 , - 5 3 Now E F G form a triangle, therefore centroid of &
