 Procedure
 Choose the appropriate origin and coordinate system.

 Divide the given figure into standard shapes.

 Locate the centroid of each standard shape using the standard expression.

 Write the co-ordinates of the centroid of the standard shapes with respect to the chosen
origin as (x1. y1), (x2, y2), ……

 Use the formula to find the values of centroid G (𝑥, 𝑦)
