Calculating the Centroid of a Triangle

In this video we define and calculate the centroid of a triangle.

isn't it crazy that they don't tell you this in class

[@brawlclips3059]

😢

[@MonkeySauce-tu5jm]

Real

[@CrystalMethamphetamine]

This is why no one likes geometry

[@MathTurtle]

@CrystalMethamphetamine my least fav area of math.

[@yourkekko3226]

Thanks so much I had trouble understanding in class but this is so much more simple and easier to understand

[@MathTurtle]

You’re welcome!

This video has changed my life. Never before have I been so clear in my thinking. It’s seems like a whole new world has been opened for me. My parents walked into my room when I was watching math turtle and they instantly started tearing up and told me they weere proud of me for the first time in my life. I am forever grateful to the turtle 🐢🐢🐢🐢💀💀🐐🐐🐐🗣️🗣️

[@Evprodss]

I fully agree with this statement. The turtle is more like the GOAT

[@MathTurtle]

🐢 provides. 🙏

[@MathTurtle]

Agree.

[@jamiefreeland7834]

Thanks a bunch! I have been teaching math for over twenty years (middle school) and I don’t deal with this type of math at all, and ran into it while tutoring a high school student and was thinking geez (your first method) this is going to take a while, but it seems much easier with your second method. I am not sure why it was hard to find videos on this, but I am sure glad I ran into yours. Have a great day, def subscribing now.

[@MathTurtle]

Yes. Triangle centers can be tedious to solve for. The topic acts a decent review of linear equations

[@emtennguyrn1503]

thank you!!! this is so simple. The other examples I see online is just so complicated

[@Clx4pz6969]

Spent hours trying to learn this and this guy taught me so quick it was astonishing

[@MathTurtle]

🐢 🔥🔥🔥

[@TypicaIMarksman]

This was probably the best thing I have seen for geometry homework. Struggled on a question for 2 hours straight because my teacher showed a long and insufficient way of solving the centroid with coordinates. I saw 2 minutes of this video and had the entire problem solved in 3 minutes.

You’re welcome!

bro this guy is hacking math. he is such a W

Bro thank you so much im here struggling a with this during midnight 😭 this is so simplified

[@rlzbid1773]

thanks dude, u just saved my math test. I did not know anything about centroids thx

[@MathTurtle]

Great to hear it helped !

[@izzysajid9670]

BROOO THANK U SOOO MUCHH BRO I SAVED SOOO MUCH TIME USING THIS RAHTER THAN MY TRACHER TECHNIQUE

[@MathTurtle]

glad I could help!

[@aias97]

Taking geometry in 8th grade and this video helped me out so much thanks.

[@MathTurtle]

This is great to hear!

[@aias97]

@@MathTurtle Just finished taking a test. I think this video was one of the reasons why I did well. TY SO MUCH

[@MathTurtle]

You’re most welcome. Your hard work was essential.

[@Astro-ui4os]

Lol I'm doing geometry in 8th too

[@MathTurtle]

@@Astro-ui4os May I ask what country you’re located in?

[@xzavierburkhart9784]

very informative . thank you for helping me understand how to do this.

[@MathTurtle]

You’re welcome!

[@bensonwu1238]

This is what I learnt in my math class yesterday.

[@MathTurtle]

Great to hear. The playlist has lots of resources on this subject if needed. Thanks

[@dennisjones1145]

The fact that my teacher taught me to find find the type of angle, find x and y, right out the point intercept form, plug in my x and y, then solve is insane considering that I could have just done this. School is dumb 🤦🏿

[@MathTurtle]

The longer method serves as a decent review of a lot of period year topics! I usually show both methods.

[@lucasheilman8668]

bro he is speaking facts

[@RaffaelloLorenzusSayde]

Does it apply to triangles (that are on a plane) of 3d planes? Thanks 😉

[@MathTurtle]

centroid for 3D far more complicated.

[@user-kd7zg8je8u]

so much help, you really saved me dude.

[@MathTurtle]

No problem!!!

[@Itz._.rahnuma]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@madnessfullyloaded7891]

Centroid is also called as centre of GRAVITY?

[@MathTurtle]

I’ve heard it referred to as such but it’s not quite accurate.

[@super6070]

bro the way they explained it in geometry was so weird thanks

[@MathTurtle]

Glad I could help.

[@kostikk.4303]

Amazing method! This really helped me!

[@MathTurtle]

Great to hear!

[@sgv-1x231]

how would you go about plotting a fraction?

[@MathTurtle]

Plotting fractions can only be done through estimation. This is why algebraic methods are usually the preferred method.

[@user-py4gl9jd9q]

You help me so much😊

[@MathTurtle]

You’re welcome!

[@shontelle4149]

AAA YES IT WORKS life saver fr

[@MathTurtle]

great to hear!

[@eyalraz8074]

thank you!!!

[@cardsofkoi]

My class can’t use this method sadly because we have to follow the “curriculum.” This is so much simpler.

[@MathTurtle]

Since the centroid balances the weight of the object out, Intuitively averaging out the xs and ys makes more sense than intersecting at least two median lines to find the centroid. The long way is a good review of linear equations i guess but tedious. I usually show both methods and just make students be able to describe the steps using thr tedious route.

[@michaelbarnes5269]

Yep. Much easier than circumcenter or orthocenter.
