Centroid
• “average” x & y of an area
• for a volume of constant thickness
–
where is weight/volume
– center of gravity = centroid of area

Symmetric Areas
• symmetric about
an axis
• symmetric about
a center point
• mirrored symmetry
Composite Areas
• made up of basic shapes
• areas can be negative
• (centroids can be negative for any area)
