The centroid coordinates are the average of the coordinates of the vertices; then use the distance formula.
Explanation:
The coordinates of the centroid are the average of the x and y coordinates of the vertices (corners).
Vertices:
x coordinate of centroid:
y coordinate of the centroid:
Centroid is located at
To find the distance from the origin
