Hi negri, welcome to PF.

Did you try searching? Because on the first result page Google spits out this which seems quite clear to me.
What do you want us to explain?
 
thnx!:blushing:
 
ok, now I've looked on to it and there is nothing extra then i already knew, but how can i use it to calculate an equilateral triangle's centroem?
