Centroid of the triangle is $(6 \frac{2}{3}, 3)$ $(6 2/3,3)$

Explanation:

The centroid of a triangle whose vertices are $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ $(x_1,y_1)$ , (x_2,y_2) $and (x_{3}, y_{3})$ $and (x_3,y_3)$ is given by

$(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} + x_{3}}{3}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2} + y_{3}}{3})$ $((x_1+x_2+x_3)/3,(y_1+y_2+y_3)/3)$

Hence centroid of the triangle formed by points $(3, 1)$ $(3,1)$ , $(5, 2)$ $(5,2)$ and $12, 6)$ $12,6)$ is $(\frac{3 + 5 + 12}{3}, \frac{1 + 2 + 6}{3})$ $((3+5+12)/3,(1+2+6)/3)$ or $(\frac{20}{3}, 3)$ $(20/3,3)$ or $(6 \frac{2}{3}, 3)$ $(6 2/3,3)$
