The contents of centriod being taught in the middle school mathematics curriculum are limited to the triangle only. Furthermore, centriod is itself defined as an intersecting point of three middle lines of a triangle. Both tend to imply as if the centriod exists only for the triangle. However, it is true that centriod always exists for each object. Additionally, it is a very crucial task to find out where the centriod of the object in question is in many fields such as manufacture of aircraft.
For this reason, the study is aimed to suggest the way to find out the construction of the centriod for convex polygons, such as tetrigon and pentagon, by applying the way used to find out the centriod for triangle. The study also tries to show that the learners can comprehend the principle for themselves by performing the application and construction.
I hope that this study will make a contribution to help those who have had interest in construction of centriod of convex n-polygons. And this may also serve as a positive example to the expectation that mathematics will be developing with close relation to computer, considering the cooperation with computer to develop my theory in this study.
