Centroid Question 1:
Let PQR be a triangle with R(-1, 4, 2). Suppose M(2, 1, 2) is the mid point of PQ. The distance of the centroid of ΔPQR from the point of intersection of the line \(\frac{x-2}{0}=\frac{y}{2}=\frac{z+3}{-1}\) and \(\frac{x-1}{1}=\frac{y+3}{-3}=\frac{z+1}{1}\) is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Centroid Question 1 Detailed Solution
Calculation
Centroid G divides MR in 1 ∶ 2
By using section formula
⇒ G(1, 2, 2)
\(\frac{x-2}{0}=\frac{y}{2}=\frac{z+3}{-1}=k\)
⇒ x = 2
\(\frac{x-1}{1}=\frac{y+3}{-3}=\frac{z+1}{1}=m\)
⇒ x = 1 + m ⇒ 2 = 1 + m ⇒ m = 1
⇒ y = -6, z = 0
Point of intersection A of given lines is (2,–6, 0)
\(\mathrm{AG}=\sqrt{69}\)
Hence option 3 is correct
Centroid Question 2:
Let P and Q be the points on the line \(\rm \frac{x+3}{8}=\frac{y-4}{2}=\frac{x+1}{2}\) which are at a distance of 6 units from the point R (1,2,3). If the centroid of the triangle PQR is (α, β, γ), then α2 + β2 + γ2 is:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Centroid Question 2 Detailed Solution
Calculation
Given
L: \(\rm \frac{x+3}{8}=\frac{y-4}{2}=\frac{x+1}{2}=k\)
Point on line L = P(8k - 3, 2k + 4, 2k - 1)
Distance of P from R(1,2,3) is 6 units
⇒ \((8k−4)^2+(2k+2)^2+(2k−4)^2=36\)
⇒ \((64k^2−64k+16)+(4k^2+8k+4)+(4k^2−16k+16)=36\)
⇒ 72k2 - 72k + 36 = 36
⇒ 72k2 - 72k = 0
⇒ k = 0,1
At k = 0 ⇒ P(-3,4,-1)
At k = 1 ⇒ Q(5,6,1)
The centroid of the triangle PQR is
⇒ \((\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3}{3},\frac{y_1+y_2+y_3}{3},\frac{z_1+z_2+z_3}{3})\)
⇒ (1,4,1) = (α, β, γ)
α2 + β2 + γ2 = 1 + 16 + 1 = 18
Hence option 3 is correct
Centroid Question 3:
If (a cos θ1, a sin θ1), (a cos θ2, a sin θ2) and (a cos θ3, a sin θ3) represents the vertices of an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle of centre at (0, 0), then consider the following statements.
I. cos θ1 + cos θ2 + cos θ3 = 0
II. sin θ1 + sin θ2 + sin θ3 = 0
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Centroid Question 3 Detailed Solution
Given :
(a cos θ1, a sin θ1), (a cos θ2, a sin θ2) and (a cos θ3, a sin θ3) represents the vertices of an equilateral triangle which is inscribed in a circle.
Formula used :
Centroid (x, y) = \((\frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3}, \frac{y_1 + y_2+ y_3}{3})\) ------ (1)
Calculations :
We know, equilateral triangle is inscribed in a circle with centre (0, 0)
We know from the above figure that
M is the circumcentre of the equilateral \(\triangle ABC\)
M is also the centroid of \(\triangle ABC\)
Using equation (1), we get
⇒ \(\text M = (\frac {a\ cos \theta_1+a\ cos \theta_2+a\ cos \theta_3}{3}, \frac {a\ sin \theta_1+a\ sin \theta_2+a\ sin \theta_3}{3}) = (0, 0)\)
⇒ \(a\ cos \theta_1+a\ cos \theta_2+a\ cos \theta_3 = 0\)
⇒ \(a\ sin \theta_1+a\ sin \theta_2+a\ sin \theta_3 = 0\)
∴ Both statements I and II are correct.
Centroid Question 4:
If the vertices of a triangle are (1, 2), (h, - 3) and (- 4, k) and the centroid of the triangle is located at (5, - 1). Find the value of h + k ?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Centroid Question 4 Detailed Solution
CONCEPT:
If the coordinates of the vertices of triangle Δ ABC are: A (x1, y1), B (x2, y2) and C (x3, y3). Then the co-ordinates of the centroid G is given by: \(\left( {\frac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3}}}{3},\frac{{{y_1} + {y_2} + {y_3}}}{3}} \right)\)
CALCULATION:
Given: (1, 2), (h, - 3) and (- 4, k) are the vertices of triangle and the centroid of the triangle is located at (5, - 1).
Let A = (1, 2), B = (h, - 3) and C = (- 4, k) are the vertices of Δ ABC.
As we know that, the centroid of a triangle is given by: \(\left( {\frac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3}}}{3},\frac{{{y_1} + {y_2} + {y_3}}}{3}} \right)\)
Here, x1 = 1, y1 = 2, x2 = h, y2 = - 3, x3 = - 4 and y3 = k
⇒ \(G = \left( {\frac{{{1} + {h} - {4}}}{3},\frac{{{2} - {3} + {k}}}{3}} \right)\)
So, the cenroid of the given triangle is: \((\frac{h - 3}{3}, \frac{k - 1}{3})\)
∵ It is given that the centroid of the triangle is located at (5, - 1).
⇒ \(\frac{h - 3}{3} = 5 \ and\ \frac{k - 1}{3} = - 1\)
⇒ h = 18 and k = - 2
⇒ h + k = 16
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
Centroid Question 5:
If the centroid of a triangle formed by (7, x), (y, -6) and (9, 10) is (6, 3), then the values of x and y are respectively
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Centroid Question 5 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Centroid of a Triangle: The point where the three medians of the triangle intersect.
Let’s consider a triangle. If the three vertices of the triangle are A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), C(x3, y3).
Centroid of a triangle = \(\left( {\frac{{{{\rm{x}}_1} + {\rm{\;}}{{\rm{x}}_2} + {\rm{\;}}{{\rm{x}}_3}}}{3},\frac{{{{\rm{y}}_1} + {\rm{\;}}{{\rm{y}}_2} + {\rm{\;}}{{\rm{y}}_3}}}{3}} \right)\)
Calculation:
Vertices of the triangle are given as (7, x), (y, -6) and (9, 10)
Centroid of a triangle = (6, 3)
⇒ Centroid of a triangle = (6, 3) = \(\left( {\frac{{7 + {\rm{\;y}} + {\rm{\;}}9}}{3},\frac{{{\rm{x}} - 6 + {\rm{\;}}10}}{3}} \right)\)
⇒ (18, 9) = [(16 + y), (x + 4)]
∴ 16 + y = 18 and x + 4 = 9
⇒ y = 2 and x = 5
So, (x, y) = (5, 2)
Centroid Question 6:
Let the triangle PQR be the image of the triangle with vertices (1,3), (3,1), (2,4) in the line x+2y=2. If the centroid of triangle PQR is the point (α,β), then what is the value of 15(α−β)?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Centroid Question 6 Detailed Solution
Concept:
To reflect a point \((x_1, y_1) \) across the line ax + by + c = 0, the reflected point (x', y') is given by:
\(x' = x_1 - \frac{2a(ax_1 + by_1 + c)}{a^2 + b^2}, \quad y' = y_1 - \frac{2b(ax_1 + by_1 + c)}{a^2 + b^2}. \)
Explanation:
Vertex 1: (1, 3)
\(x' = 1 - \frac{2(1(1) + 2(3) - 2)}{1^2 + 2^2}, \quad y' = 3 - \frac{2(2(1) + 4(3) - 4)}{1^2 + 2^2}\\ x' = 1 - \frac{2(1 + 6 - 2)}{5}, \quad y' = 3 - \frac{2(2 + 12 - 4)}{5}\\ x' = 1 - \frac{10}{5}, \quad y' = 3 - \frac{20}{5}\\ x' = -1, \quad y' = -1\\ \)
Reflected point: (-1, -1)
Vertex 2: (3, 1)
\(x' = 3 - \frac{2(1(3) + 2(1) - 2)}{1^2 + 2^2}, \quad y' = 1 - \frac{2(2(3) + 4(1) - 4)}{1^2 + 2^2} \\ x' = 3 - \frac{2(3 + 2 - 2)}{5}, \quad y' = 1 - \frac{2(6 + 4 - 4)}{5} \\ x' = 3 - \frac{6}{5}, \quad y' = 1 - \frac{12}{5} \\ x' = \frac{15}{5} - \frac{6}{5}, \quad y' = \frac{5}{5} - \frac{12}{5} \\ x' = \frac{9}{5}, \quad y' = -\frac{7}{5} \\ \)
Reflected point: \(\left(\frac{9}{5}, -\frac{7}{5}\right) \)
Vertex 3: (2, 4)
\(x' = 2 - \frac{2(1(2) + 2(4) - 2)}{1^2 + 2^2}, \quad y' = 4 - \frac{2(2(2) + 4(4) - 4)}{1^2 + 2^2} \\ x' = 2 - \frac{2(2 + 8 - 2)}{5}, \quad y' = 4 - \frac{2(4 + 16 - 4)}{5} \\ x' = 2 - \frac{16}{5}, \quad y' = 4 - \frac{32}{5} \\ x' = \frac{10}{5} - \frac{16}{5}, \quad y' = \frac{20}{5} - \frac{32}{5} \\ x' = -\frac{6}{5}, \quad y' = -\frac{12}{5} \\ \)
Reflected point: \( \left(-\frac{6}{5}, -\frac{12}{5}\right) \)
Centroid of \(\Delta PQR \) :
\(\alpha = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3}, \quad \beta = \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3} \)
Substitute the reflected points:
\(\alpha = \frac{-1 + \frac{9}{5} - \frac{6}{5}}{3}, \quad \beta = \frac{-1 - \frac{7}{5} - \frac{12}{5}}{3} \)
\(\alpha = \frac{-\frac{5}{5} + \frac{9}{5} - \frac{6}{5}}{3}, \quad \beta = \frac{-\frac{5}{5} - \frac{7}{5} - \frac{12}{5}}{3} \)
\(\alpha = \frac{-\frac{2}{5}}{3}, \quad \beta = \frac{-\frac{24}{5}}{3} \)
\(\alpha = -\frac{2}{15}, \quad \beta = -\frac{24}{15} \)
\(15(\alpha - \beta) = 15\left(-\frac{2}{15} - \left(-\frac{24}{15}\right)\right) \)
\(15(\alpha - \beta) = 15\left(-\frac{2}{15} + \frac{24}{15}\right) \)
\(15(\alpha - \beta) = 15\left(\frac{22}{15}\right) \)
\(15(\alpha - \beta) = 22 \)
Hence 22 is the correct answer.
Centroid Question 7:
If two vertices of a triangle are A(3, 1, 4) and B(-4, 5, −3) and the centroid of the triangle is G(-1, 2, 1), then the third vertex C of the triangle is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Centroid Question 7 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
Let the coordinates of C be C = (x, y, z)
Given, A(3, 1, 4) and B(-4, 5, −3) and the centroid of the triangle is G(-1, 2, 1)
∴ \(\frac{3+(-4)+x}{3}\) = - 1
⇒ x = - 2
Also, \(\frac{1+5+y}{3}\) = 2
⇒ y = 0
and, \(\frac{4+(-3)+z}{3}\) = 1
⇒ z = 2
∴ C = (x, y, z) = (- 2, 0, 2)
∴ The coordinates of C are (-2, 0, 2)
The correct answer is Option 2.
Centroid Question 8:
Let the position vectors of the vertices A, B and C of a triangle be 2î + 2ĵ + k̂, î + 2ĵ + 2k̂ and 2î + ĵ + 2k̂ respectively. Let ℓ1, ℓ2, and ℓ3 be the lengths of perpendiculars drawn from the ortho center of the triangle on the sides AB, BC and CA respectively, then \(ℓ_1^2 + ℓ_2^2 + ℓ_3^2\) equals :
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Centroid Question 8 Detailed Solution
Calculation
ΔABC is equilateral
Orthocentre and centroid will be same
⇒ \(\mathrm{G}\left(\frac{5}{3}, \frac{5}{3}, \frac{5}{3}\right)\)
Mid - point of AB is D \(\left(\frac{3}{2}, 2, \frac{3}{2}\right)\)
∴ ℓ1 = \(\sqrt{\frac{1}{36}+\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{36}}\)
⇒ ℓ1 = \(\sqrt{\frac{1}{6}}=\ell_2=\ell_3\)
∴ \(\ell_1^2+\ell_2^2+\ell_3^2=\frac{1}{2}\)
Hence option (2} is correct
Centroid Question 9:
Find the centroid of the triangle ABC whose coordinates are A(4,4), B(-1,-2) and C(6,-8) ?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Centroid Question 9 Detailed Solution
CONCEPT:
If the coordinates of the vertices of triangle Δ ABC are: A (x1, y1), B (x2, y2) and C (x3, y3). Then the co-ordinates of the centroid G is given by: \(\left( {\frac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3}}}{3},\frac{{{y_1} + {y_2} + {y_3}}}{3}} \right)\)
CALCULATION:
Given: A(4,4), B(-1,-2) and C(6,-8) are the coordinates of the triangle ABC.
As we know that, centroid of a triangle ABC whose vertices are A (x1, y1), B (x2, y2) and C (x3, y3) is given by: \(\left( {\frac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3}}}{3},\frac{{{y_1} + {y_2} + {y_3}}}{3}} \right)\)
Here, x1 = 4, y1 = 4, x2 = - 1, y2 = 2, x3 = 6 and y3 = 8.
So, the centroid of triangle ABC is: \(\left( {\frac{{{4} - {1} + {6}}}{3},\frac{{{4} - {2} - {8}}}{3}} \right)\)
= \(\left(3, - 2 \right)\)
So, the centroid of the given triangle ABC is (3, - 2)
