IF A(cos@,sin@) , B(sin@,-cos@) and C(1,2) are vertices of the triangle ABC, then as @ varies, find the locus of its CENTROID

I LIKE HARRY POTTER BOOKS, GAMES, MOVIES, THEMES, WALLPAPERS, ANIMATIONS ETC. I HAVE COMPLETED READING ALL POTTER BOOKS, GAMES AND SEEN ALL THE MOVIES AND I OWN THE SAME.

I AM A BIG FAN IF J.K.ROWLING AND WARNER BROTHERS.

let centroid be (h,k)
h = (sin@ + cos@ + 1)/3

k= (sin@ - cos@ + 2)/3

=> 3h - 1 = sin@ + cos @
and
3k-2 = sin@ - cos@

square the 2 equations and add them
we get:
(3h-1)^2 + (3k-2)^2 = 2

so locus of centroid is:
(3x-1)^2 + (3y-2)^2 = 2
which is a circle of centre (1/3, 2/3) and radius (rt2)/3
