The centroid is the centre point of the object. It is also defined as the point of intersection of all the three
medians. The median is a line that joins the midpoint of a side and the opposite vertex of the triangle. The
centroid of the triangle separates the median in the ratio of 2 : 1. It can be found by taking the average of x-
coordinate points and y-coordinate points of all the vertices of the triangle. See the figure given below

Here D, E and F are mid points of sides BC, AC and AB in same order. G is centroid, the centroid divides the
median in the ratio 2 : 1 with the larger part towards the vertex. Thus AG : GD = 2 : 1
