List of Centroids

3
The following diagrams depict a list of centroids . A centroid of an object X in n-dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide X into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane. Informally, it is the "average " of all points of X. For an object of uniform composition (mass, density, etc.) the centroid of a body is also its centre of mass.
