The correct answer is: 49,113,-109

Point E is the centroid of face ABC ( which is a triangle)

Centroid =x1+x2+x33,y1+y2+y33,z1+z2+z33

E=2+(-3)+(-1)3,3+3+43,-4+(-2)+23

E=-23,103,-43

Point F is the centroid of face ACD

F=2+(-1)+33,3+4+53,-4+2+13

F=43,123,-13=43,4,-13

Point G is the centroid of face ABD

G=2+(-3)+33,3+3+53,-4+(-2)+13

G=23,113,-53

Now EFG form a triangle, therefore centroid of EFG

49,339,-109

49,113,-109
