If you're asking because you're concerned about backup/restore then
you'll want to forget about the location of the data files and instead
use the mysqldump command to make your backups.

If you're interested from the capacity planning standpoint then the
answer is that CentOS configures MySQL to live in the /var/lib/mysql
directory.
