Finding the Centroid of a Triangle Using Vector Geometry and Coordinate Points

The video tutorial focuses on finding the centroid of a triangle, which is the point of concurrency of the triangle's medians. It explains two methods: using vectors and using coordinate points. The vector method involves calculating the centroid by considering the origin and using vector operations, while the coordinate method involves averaging the x and y coordinates of the triangle's vertices. The tutorial emphasizes the 2:1 ratio of the median segments and provides a step-by-step guide to both methods.
