Let A(1, 2), B (4, 3) and C(6, 6).
ReplyDeleteLet D (x, y) be the fourth vertex of the parallelogram ABCD.
Midpoint of AC = [(1+6)/2 , (2+6)/2] = (7/2,4)
Midpoint of BD = [(x+4)/2 , (y+3)/2
Since, the diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other at O.
∴ Mid point of BD = Mid point of AC
(7/2,4) = [(x+4)/2 , (y+3)/2
 7/2 = (x+4)/2
 x = 3
also, 4 = (y+3)/2
y = 8-3 =5
Thus, (3, 5) is the fourth vertex.
