Centroid
The centroid of a region is the center of the region. The coordinates of the centroid are the average values of the coordinates of the points in the region. If the region is made of material of uniform density, then the centroid is called the center of mass or the center of gravity. The centroid of a triangle is the intersection of its medians.
The coordinates of the centroid of a plane region R of area A are given by the double integrals:
The coordinates of the centroid of a three-dimensional region R of area V are given by triple integrals:
