Transcribed Image Text:Locate the centroid of the shaded area shown in each of the following figures. if h = 12 in. and h = 8 in
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

b=12 inh=8 in

Step 2

The triangle has right-angle at the origin. Therefore the centroid is at a distance of b/3 along x-axis and h/3 along y-axis.

x¯=b3=12 in3=4 iny¯=h3=8 in3=2.66 in
