Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Question #3:** Find the (x,y) coordinates of the centroid of the shaded area between the semi-circle and the inscribed triangle:
*Diagram Description:*
1. **Semi-circle**:
- The semi-circle is displayed with its flat edge lying along the horizontal axis.
- The radius of the semi-circle is denoted by \( R \).
2. **Inscribed Triangle**:
- A triangle is inscribed within the semi-circle.
- The base of the triangle coincides with the flat edge of the semi-circle.
- The vertex of the triangle opposite the base lies at the center of the semi-circle's flat edge.
- The height of the triangle from the center of the flat edge (base) to the top point is denoted by \( Y \).
3. **Shaded Area**:
- The shaded area is the space found between the semi-circle and the inscribed triangle.
- This area is highlighted in orange color.
The task is to calculate the coordinates of the centroid of this orange shaded area.
