For the following two (02) items:
Let A(1,−1,0)A(1, -1, 0), B(−2,1,8)B(-2, 1, 8) and C(−1,2,7)C(-1, 2, 7) are three consecutive vertices of a parallelogram ABCDABCD.

What is the fourth vertex DD?

Options

  1. A(0,−2,1)(0, -2, 1)
  2. B(2,0,−1)(2, 0, -1)
  3. C(1,0,1)(1, 0, 1)
  4. D(1,2,0)(1, 2, 0)

Correct answer

B. (2,0,−1)(2, 0, -1)

Step-by-step solution

Let the coordinates of the fourth vertex DD be (x,y,z)(x, y, z).

In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. Therefore, the midpoint of diagonal ACAC is the same as the midpoint of diagonal BDBD.

Midpoint of AC=(1−12,−1+22,0+72)=AC = \left( \dfrac{1 - 1}{2}, \dfrac{-1 + 2}{2}, \dfrac{0 + 7}{2} \right) =\left(0, \dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{7}{2} \right)

Midpointof BD = \left( \dfrac{-2 + x}{2},\dfrac{1 + y}{2}, \dfrac{8 + z}{2} \right)

Equating the correspondingcoordinates:<br><br>−2+x2=0⇒x=2corresponding coordinates:<br><br>\dfrac{-2 + x}{2} =0 \Rightarrow x = 2

1+y2=12⇒y=0\dfrac{1 + y}{2} = \dfrac{1}{2} \Rightarrow y = 0

8+z2=72\dfrac{8 + z}{2} = \dfrac{7}{2} \Rightarrow z = -1<br><br>Thecoordinatesofthefourthvertex<br><br>The coordinates of the fourth vertexDareare(2, 0, -1).<br><br>Answer:.<br><br>Answer:(2, 0, -1)
