Geometry Centroid Prodject
By: Michael Atkiels
Centroid problem
Mike wants a house that is 2/3 of the whole distance away from these three locations (points) around him. The locations are the barber shop, the t-mobile store, and the public beach. Where would Mikes house be if he is at the centroid of the given triangle?
Lengths
The lengths from the barbershop to the t-mobile store is 6 and one eighth miles. From the barbershop to the public beach is 7miles. The t-mobile store is 6 and one half miles away from the public beach.
Barbershop= point D
T-mobile store =point E
Public beach = point F
Midpoints
Midpoint of DE = B
Midpoint of EF = C
Midpoint of DF = A
AE=5 1/4 miles
BF=6 miles
DC=5 3/4 miles
The answer would be?
Michaels house would be:
3 and 1/2 mile away from the t-mobile store
4 miles away from the public pool
3 and 5/6 miles away from the Barber shop
