| − | Line Segment <math>\overline{AB}</math> is a diameter of a circle with <math>AB = 24</math>. Point <math>C</math>, not equal to <math>A</math> or <math>B</math>, lies on the circle. As point <math>C</math> moves around the circle, the centroid (center of mass) of (insert triangle symbol)<math>ABC</math> traces out a closed curve missing two points. To the nearest positive integer, what is the area of the region bounded by this curve?

| − | Draw the Median connecting C to the center O of the circle. Note that the centroid is <math>\frac{1}{3}</math> of the distance from O to C.
| |
| − | Thus, as C traces a circle of radius 12, the Centroid will trace a circle of radius <math>\frac{12}{3}=4</math>.

| − | The area of this circle is <math>\pi\cdot4^2=16\pi \approx \boxed{50}</math>.
