For the following two (02) items:
Let , and are three consecutive vertices of a parallelogram .
What is the fourth vertex ?
Let , and are three consecutive vertices of a parallelogram .
What is the fourth vertex ?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Let the coordinates of the fourth vertex be .
In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. Therefore, the midpoint of diagonal is the same as the midpoint of diagonal .
Midpoint of \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
\Rightarrow z = -1D(2, 0, -1)(2, 0, -1)
