New centroid is (103,13)

Explanation:

The centroid of the triangle with corners at (3,7), (5,5) and (2,1) is

(3+5+23,7+(5)+(1)3) or (103,13)

When triangle is reflected across the x-axis, its centroid too is reflected across the x-axis

and as reflection of a point (x1,y1) in x-axis is (x1,y1),

New centroid is (103,13)
