Review text

Three different centroids of \(4-\)gons are considered. \(G_0\) is the centroid when equal point masses are put at the vertices, \(G_1\) is the corresponding centroid of homogeneous broken line masses along the edges and \(G_2\) is the centroid belonging to homogeneous plane mass. It is shown: If the 4-gon is a parallelogram then \(G_0=G_1=G_2\) and conversely if either \(G_0=G_2\) or \(G_0=G_1\) hold then the 4-gon is a parallelogram. Moreover it is shown that there is a two-parameter set of isoceles trapezoids for which \(G_1=G_2\).
