for any triangle t in the xy co-ordinate plane center of t is defined to be the point whuse x cordinate is the mean of the x cordinates of vertices of t and y cor is the mean of y vertices of t.yhe vertices are(0,0)and
(6,0)and
center is at (3,2)
find the cordinates of remaing vertex.

Say, the coordinate of the third vertex is (x, y)

Hence, x coordinate of the center = (0 + 6 + x)/3 = 3 --> x = 3
Hence, y coordinate of the center = (0 + 0 + y)/3 = 2 --> y = 6

Hence, coordinate of the remaining vertex is (3, 6)

the coordinates will be

x (0+6+x)/3 = 3 x=3

y (0+0+y)/3 = 2 y=6
