Square is figure whose all dimensions are same. Centroid of square lies where, diagonals intersects each other. As shown in the figure.
Example
Find the centroid of square whose breadth and thickness is 5 ft.
Solution
Centroid of square lies where, diagonals intersect each other.
Draw a vertical line from the midpoint of reference y-axis & in the same way draw a horizontal line from the midpoint of reference x-axis. Centroid lies at a point where horizontal and vertical lines intersect. As shown below.
From figure, it can be seen that centroid of square is at 2.5′ from reference x and y-axis.
