Answer:

The coordinates of the centroid are (0, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the centroid of a triangle whose vertices (x1, y1), (x2, y2), and (x3, y3) are (\frac{x1+x2+x3}{3} , \frac{y1+y2+y3}{3})

In Δ ABC

∵ A = (-20, 0), B = (0, 15), C = (20, 0)

∴ x1 = -20, x2 = 0, x3 = 20

∴ y1 = 0, y2 = 15, y3 = 0

∴ The centroid = (\frac{-20+0+20}{3} , \frac{0+15+0}{3}) = (\frac{0}{3} , \frac{15}{3}) = (0, 5)

∴ The coordinates of the centroid of Δ ABC are (0, 5)

In Δ DBE

∵ D = (-15, 0), B = (0, 15), E = (15, 0)

∴ x1 = -15, x2 = 0, x3 = 15

∴ y1 = 0, y2 = 15, y3 = 0

∴ The centroid = (\frac{-15+0+15}{3} , \frac{0+15+0}{3}) = (\frac{0}{3} , \frac{15}{3}) = (0, 5)

∴ The coordinates of the centroid of Δ DBE are (0, 5)

In Δ FBG

∵ F = (-5, 0), B = (0, 15), G = (5, 0)

∴ x1 = -5, x2 = 0, x3 = 5

∴ y1 = 0, y2 = 15, y3 = 0

∴ The centroid = (\frac{-5+0+5}{3} , \frac{0+15+0}{3}) = (\frac{0}{3} , \frac{15}{3}) = (0, 5)

∴ The coordinates of the centroid of Δ FBG are (0, 5)

∵ The three triangles are symmetric about the y-axis

→ That means they have the same centroid and it lies on the y-axis

∴ The coordinates of the centroid are (0, 5)

Answer:

The value if x is 0.9875.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to get rid of brackets by expanding :

0.5(2x +  \frac{3}{4} ) -  \frac{1}{3} (0.1 + x) = 1

0.5(2x) + 0.5( \frac{3}{4} ) -  \frac{1}{3} (0.1) -  \frac{1}{3} (x) = 1

x +  \frac{3}{8}  -  \frac{1}{30}   -   \frac{1}{3} x = 1

Next you have to collect like terms :

x  -  \frac{1}{3} x +  \frac{3}{8}  -  \frac{1}{30}  = 1

\frac{2}{3} x +  \frac{41}{120}  = 1

Lastly, you can solve x :

\frac{2}{3} x = 1 -  \frac{41}{120}

\frac{2}{3} x =  \frac{79}{120}

x =  \frac{79}{120}  \div  \frac{2}{3}

x =  \frac{79}{80}

x = 0.9875
