DTop vertex
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Intersection of medians, at 1/3 height from base
Centroid: intersection of three medians (line from vertex to opposite side's midpoint). Divides each median in 2:1 ratio (closer to side). Located at h/3 above the base for any triangle. For uniform-density triangle, centroid = center of mass.
