as shown in picture:  find locus of centroid of triangle:  1)when:B and C,are fixed and:A moves  on the circle′s  perimeter.  2)C,is fixed and A and B  are moving on  circle′s perimeter, and perimeter of  triangle is constant and equails to:5.

please check the question 2). it′s not  possible to have a triangle with   perimeter 5 in an circle with radius 1.

(1)  r=CG=(2/3)R cos θ=(2/3)cos θ  or  x=(2/3)cos^2  θ=((cos 2θ+1)/3)  y=(2/3)cos θ sin θ=((sin 2θ)/3)  ⇒(x−(1/3))^2 +y^2 =((1/3))^2   ⇒the locus is a circle with radius (1/3)

$$\left(\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$${r}={CG}=\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}{R}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\theta=\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}\mathrm{cos}\:\theta \\ $$$${or} \\ $$$${x}=\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}\mathrm{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\theta=\frac{\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{2}\theta+\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$${y}=\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}\mathrm{cos}\:\theta\:\mathrm{sin}\:\theta=\frac{\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{2}\theta}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\left({x}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} =\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{the}\:{locus}\:{is}\:{a}\:{circle}\:{with}\:{radius}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$

(2)  the locus of G is also a circle.

$$\left(\mathrm{2}\right) \\ $$$${the}\:{locus}\:{of}\:{G}\:{is}\:{also}\:{a}\:{circle}. \\ $$
