Question : 15
Total: 20
Three vertices of a parallelogram ABCD are A(3, –1, 2), B(1, 2, –4) and C(–1, 1, 2). Find the coordinates of the fourth vertex.
Solution:
Let D(x, y, z) be the fourth vertex of parallelogram ABCD. We know that diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. So the mid point of AC and BD coincide.
∴ Coordinates of midpoint of AC are
Also coordinates of mid point of BD are
∴
Thus the coordinates of point D are (1, –2, 8)
