(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Easy of Mathematics

In a Biology class, students are working on a problem that involves analyzing the populations of different plant species in an ecosystem. To better understand the spatial distribution of these plants, it is necessary to calculate the centroid of a triangle formed by three sampling points. The points A(2, 4), B(6, 1), and C(4, 6) represent the positions of the samples on the Cartesian plane, where the x and y coordinates are measured in meters. Based on these points, determine the centroid of the formed triangle and explain in terms of Biology the relevance of the centroid for studying the distribution of plant populations in the ecosystem.
