alright i got the answer as ( (a+b)/3, c/3 ) for the centroid using double integrals, it seems that I divided by the area in one part of the equation, but neglected to do it in another part, so things didn't cancel out the first time. Thanks for the help guys.
Homework Statement
Find the coordinates of the centroid G of the triangular region with vertices (0,0),(a,0),(b,c).
Homework Equations
for the centroid x = (1 / area) * double integral ( x dA)
y = (1 / area) * double integral ( y dA)
