ASSUMING O IS THE ORIGIN:

A IS DISTANCE a UNITS FROM THE ORIGIN.coordinate of A is (a,0)

coordinate of b is (a/2,31/2a/2)...easily attainable....u knw that ob makes an angle of pi/3 with x axis and that the distance of ob is a units......

NOW, THE X COORDINATE OF CENTROID IS a/2. from symetry.

or now u knw the points u can find centroid usin- g=((x1+x2+x3)/3,(y1+y2+y3)/3)
