X_{cm}=\frac{50\times 0+100\times 1+150\times \frac{1}{2}}{50+100+150}=\frac{175}{300}=\frac{7}{12}cm

Y_{cm}=\frac{50\times 0+100\times 0+150\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{50+100+150}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}cm

 


Option 1)

\left [ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}m,\frac{5}{12}m \right ]

Option 2)

\left [ \frac{7}{12}m,\frac{\sqrt{3}}{8}m \right ]

Option 3)

\left [ \frac{7}{12}m, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} m\right ]

Option 4)

\left [ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{8}m, \frac{7}{12} m\right ]
