I have a question which asks me to work with centroids for a triangle. basically i need to determine (as a function of the angle or side) what masses to place on the vertices of an triangle so that the median coincides with the orthocenter and circumcenter.
i was given this to work with:
The centroid, G of a set of points is defined vectorially by:
which looks very similar to a formula of weighted means. but i have never worked with vectors before. anyone care to give me an example?Code:--> --> Sum(m_i * OM_i) OG =--------------------- Sum(m_i)




Cheers!
