  2. Centroid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centroid

    Find the centroids of these two rectangles by drawing the diagonals. Draw a line joining the centroids. The centroid of the shape must lie on this line . Divide the shape into two other rectangles, as shown in fig 3. Find the centroids of these two rectangles by drawing the diagonals. Draw a line joining the centroids.

  3. List of centroids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_centroids

    The following is a list of centroids of various two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. The centroid of an object X {\displaystyle X} in n {\displaystyle n} - dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide X {\displaystyle X} into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane.

  4. Geographical centre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_centre

    centroid of volume (incorporating elevations into calculations), instead of the more usual centroid of area as described above. [6] centre point of a bounding box completely enclosing the area. While relatively easy to determine, a centre point calculated using this method will generally also vary (relative to the shape of the landmass or ...

  5. Geographical centre of Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_centre_of_Earth

    Geometrically defined it is the centroid of all land surfaces within the two dimensions of the Geoid surface which approximates the Earth's outer shape. The term centre of minimum distance [ 1 ] specifies the concept more precisely as the domain is the sphere surface without boundary and not the three-dimensional body.

  6. Centre (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre_(geometry)

    The "vertex centroid" comes from considering the polygon as being empty but having equal masses at its vertices. The "side centroid" comes from considering the sides to have constant mass per unit length. The usual centre, called just the centroid (centre of area) comes from considering the surface of the polygon as having constant density ...

  7. Barycentric coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycentric_coordinate_system

    Barycentric coordinates are strongly related to Cartesian coordinates and, more generally, affine coordinates.For a space of dimension n, these coordinate systems are defined relative to a point O, the origin, whose coordinates are zero, and n points , …,, whose coordinates are zero except that of index i that equals one.

  8. Section formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_formula

    In coordinate geometry, the Section formula is a formula used to find the ratio in which a line segment is divided by a point internally or externally. [1] It is used to find out the centroid, incenter and excenters of a triangle. In physics, it is used to find the center of mass of systems, equilibrium points, etc. [2] [3] [4] [5]

  9. Triangle center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_center

    In geometry, a triangle center or triangle centre is a point in the triangle's plane that is in some sense in the middle of the triangle. For example, the centroid, circumcenter, incenter and orthocenter were familiar to the ancient Greeks, and can be obtained by simple constructions.
