centroid (of a triangle) The geometrical definition of the centroid G of a triangle ABC is as the point at which the medians of the triangle are concurrent. It is, in fact, ‘two-thirds of the way down each median', so that, for example, if A' is the midpoint of BC, then AG = 2GA'. This is the point at which a triangular lamina of uniform density has its centre of mass. It is also the centre of mass of three particles of equal mass situated at the vertices of the triangle.
