Find the coordinates of the centroid of the triangle formed by the x-axis, the y-axis, and the line 12x + 9y = 36, show work .

Given the line 12x + 9y = 36

the line intersects the x-axis when y = 0,

i.e. 12x = 36 ⇒ x = 3

Thus the x-intecept is (3, 0)

the line intersects the y-axis when x = 0,

i.e. 9y = 36 ⇒ y = 4

Thus, the y-intercept is (0, 4)

Thus, the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle are (0, 0), (0, 4) and (3, 0)

The midpoint of the side of the rectangle joining points (0, 0) and (0, 4) is (0, 2) and the equation of the median joining points (0, 2) and (3, 0) is given by



The midpoint of the side of the rectangle joining points (0, 0) and (3, 0) is (1.5, 0) and the equation of the median joining points (1.5, 0) and (0, 4) is given by



The point of intersetion of the two medians is given by



Therefore, the centroid of the given triangle is located at point

The distance from point a to point c across the coordinate plane is aproxamatly 8.94 rounded to the nearest hundredth. you use a^2 + b^2 =c^2
