Centroid of a Triangle Calculator

Find the centroid of a triangle from its three vertices - the average of the vertices, which is the triangle's center of mass and the intersection of the three medians.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the centroid?

The intersection point of the three medians of a triangle. It is the arithmetic mean of the three vertex coordinates and the center of mass of a uniform triangular plate.

Is the centroid always inside?

Yes - unlike the orthocenter and circumcenter, the centroid always lies inside the triangle.

Centroid versus center?

For triangles, the centroid is the natural center for balance and arithmetic averaging, but the term center can refer to other special points depending on context (incenter, circumcenter, etc.).
