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:

x2 - 4x - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = (x -7 )(x +3)

= x*x - 7*x + x*3 - 7*3

=x2 - 4x - 21
