  • Quoting wiki's entry of centroid of a polygon, $$ begin{align} C_x &= frac{1}{6A} sum_{i=0}^{n-1}(x_i + x_{i+1})(x_i y_{i+1} - x_{i+1}y_i)\ C_y &= frac{1}{6A} sum_{i=0}^{n-1}(y_i + y_{i+1})(x_i y_{i+1} - x_{i+1}y_i) end{align} $$ where $A = frac12sumlimits_{i=0}^{n-1}(x_i y_{i+1} - x_{i+1}y_i)$ is polygon's signed area.
