Thanks. I will commence ze sketch!vela said:Try starting with a sketch.
Let me try it. Thanks!supratim1 said:the Y-coordinate of COM will be 4, as it will lie on y=4, the axis of symmetry. now proceed. one of the vertices will be the reflection of (2,1) on y=4. the third one will lie on y=4, just find the x coordinate of that.

Sorry! I will let you know tonight. I have 5 exams between now and monday. All A2! Cheers!supratim1 said:welcome...so did it work?
The formula for finding the centre of mass of an isosceles triangle is (1/3)h, where h is the height of the triangle.
The centre of mass of an isosceles triangle is located on the line of symmetry, while the centre of mass of a regular triangle is located at the intersection of the medians.
No, the centre of mass of an isosceles triangle will always be located within the boundaries of the triangle.
The closer the centre of mass is to the base of the triangle, the more stable the triangle will be. If the centre of mass is located too far from the base, the triangle may be more prone to tipping over.
Yes, the centre of mass of an isosceles triangle can change if the dimensions of the triangle change. For example, if the height or base length of the triangle is altered, the centre of mass will also be affected.
